Honoring Bill Pulte: A Legacy of Friendship and Leadership Bill Pulte passed on March 7th, 2018. Each Friday in March, we will remember not only his extraordinary accomplishments but also the wisdom and character he embodied including who he was as a friend. Joe Baranska, a high school classmate of Bill’s and employee #2 of Pulte Homes, shares a touching reflection on their friendship and the journey of building one of the largest homebuilding companies in America: Bill was the type of friend who believed in others, even when the odds were against them. As Joe recalls, "A friend told me to 'hitch my wagon to a shooting star,' and I did." Bill had an unmatched ability to make simple, effective decisions, always thinking big while keeping things grounded. His actions proved that friendship, trust, and integrity were just as important as business acumen. The lessons Bill imparted as both a mentor and a friend are timeless: Hire the best—it’s the smartest investment. Trust your instincts—don’t let doubt slow you down. Focus on what matters—ignore the doubters. Do the right thing—quality and integrity come first. Keep things simple—great solutions aren’t complicated. Always rely on faith—God-centered decisions lead to success. This month, we reflect on the impact Bill made—not just as a visionary businessman, but as a loyal, compassionate friend whose legacy lives on in all of us.
