Donald's obituary
Donald Steven Ulin passed away after a long battle with Parkinson's on June 28, 2024 in Santa Barbara, California, at the age of 77. Born to Richard and Helen Ulin (née Hoffman), October 18, 1946, in Santa Monica, California. After his family moved to Arizona in 1956, they relocated to Santa Maria in 1958. He graduated from Ernest Righetti High School in 1963, and on to Allan Hancock College before joining the Air Force.
Donald met his wife, Pamela, while stationed in the UK, in 1967, marrying there later the same year. Don was then stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina in 1968. After completing service in the Air Force, Don and Pam moved to Santa Maria in 1969, and shortly after, he started work at Raytheon in Goleta, CA, where he worked for 42 years, until his health forced him to retire in 2011.
Don is survived by his wife of almost 57 years, Pamela (née Goodwin), daughter Angela Brown (Luther), son Andrew, brothers Robert (Terri) of Kansas, and Michael (Joanne) of Oregon. Don is preceded in death by his parents and sister Marsha Fleming (Richard).
Don's ashes will be scattered at sea at a later date.
