Valley Springs Dentist and his family perish in tragic Montana plane crash ~By John Hamilton
Valley Springs, CA...Unfortunately we have just confirmed that Dr. Michael L. Pullen, who was a Dentist at DuHamel & Pullen Family Dental in Valley Springs, his wife, Vanessa Pullen, and children Sydney and Chris Pullen died in Sunday's tragic plane crash in Montana....
Dr. Pullen is pictured on Rt. Photo from the DuHamel & Pullen website
According to various news reports what we have been able to gather is that Dr. Pullen and his family left on the ski trip on a charted plane from Oroville with two other families.
It appears that three complete families perished in the crash. Dr. Pullen and his wife and two children, Dr. Brian Ching from Chico with his wife and two children and St. Helena residents Dr. Erin Jacobson, his wife Amy, and their three children Taylor, 4, Ava, 3, and Jude, 2.
A total of seven adults and seven children perished in the crash of the plane. The magnitude of this loss is hard to imagine
From all of us at ThePineTree.net our thought and prayers go out to the families.
