Born July 23, 1913 in Detroit, MI. Died April 16, 2008 in Dearborn, MI. Predeceased by wife Matilda Rose Miedlar and his sister Cel Max Weston. Survived by son Tom Pustell Kathy, daughter Linda Capp Majeske Walt and four grandchildren, John Pustell Liz Mabey, Betsy Monroe Bob, Amy Swaney Steve, and Andrew Capp. John also is survived by his sisters Helen Wyderko and Josephine Ed Feeney, and his seven great grandchildren, Everett Pustell, Owen Pustell, Jonathan Monroe, Casey Monroe, Allison Monroe, Josephine Swaney and Alina Swaney. John was a 1931 graduate of Henry Ford Trade School. He worked at Ford Motor Company Rouge plant in various quality departments until 1942 when he and his brother-in-law founded PM Tool and Manufacturing Co. to serve as a supplier to the automotive industry. He operated the company until it closed in 1982. A 50-year member of the Knights of Columbus, John joined the order of the Alhambra in 1965. He became Grand Commander of Barcelona Caravan and was dedicated to the Alhambra cause of aiding children with special needs. He rose in the order holding various offices including Regional Director for the State of Michigan. He was one of the founders of the St. Francis Camp on the Lake serving children with special needs. He was a life member at Dearborn Country Club and played a lot of golf, even into his early nineties. A left-handed golfer, he had an envied putting stroke. He loved playing year round, even through tough Michigan winters. Many years he was the first one on the golf course in a new year. He relished walking three or four holes carrying four or five clubs during the winter months. John moved into Henry Ford Village in Dearborn three years ago. Personable and outgoing throughout his life, he made many friends there. He enjoyed the Village, the independence it provided, the food, and especially his pinochle buddies. He had a great sense of humor and shared it with all those that he met. He loved his family and took particular pride in his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was very observant and was always spotting things that would be unnoticed by the ordinary eye. Unfailingly curious, he was always examining, probing to find out what made things tick.
