Pulsipher retiring
The Banff meeting marked the final soiree for NFA veteran Steve Pulsipher, director of flooring for R.C. Willey, Salt Lake City, who last year announced his retirement after four decades in the flooring business.
Pulsipher, long-time treasurer for NFA, was honored by members and vendors as part of the opening night festivities. “I think the most important thing about Steve is his uncompromising integrity and honesty,” Macco said. “He’s a man of a few words, but those words are well chosen. And he’s a tremendous buyer with an uncanny ability to get the best deal. Not only that, he was always willing to share and teach his buying skills to anyone who would ask.”
Bill Cogdall, co-president of Contract Furnishings Mart, Portland, Ore., added, “He always gave 110% to the group. Where a lot of people would sit back, he was always in the game. He is honest as the day is long and always kept his word to the vendors.”
