Christo Pulos passed away on February 28, 2017 at the age of 85.
He was born in Pocatello Idaho to Greek immigrant parents who instilled in him a love of his Greek heritage and pride in being an American.
Christo married Micki George in 1951 near the beginning of his Air Force career. Chris and Micki loved the travel and adventure they shared as an Air Force family. Chris retired as a Lt.
