Brian "Oompy" Pultorak

Brian “Oompy” Pultorak, 56, of Millbury, Massachusetts, passed away on December 10, 2025, at UMass Lake Avenue in Worcester, Massachusetts, surrounded by the love of his family and friends. Born on June 29, 1969, Brian lived a life defined by music, generosity, laughter, and an unwavering devotion to those he loved.

An inspirational guitar player, Brian shared his gift through the church band at St. Brigid’s in Millbury, where his music lifted spirits and brought people together. Whether on stage or off, Oompy had a way of making everyone feel welcome. He was known for his huge heart of gold and his readiness to help anyone in need—no questions asked.

Brian was an incredible father, husband, grandfather, and friend. He took immense pride in his family and cherished every moment spent with them. A skilled tractor-trailer mechanic at Eagle Leasing, he was respected for his work ethic and reliability. Outside of work and music, Brian enjoyed the simple pleasures of life—especially a good ham sandwich, which became one of his many endearing trademarks.

Brian is survived by his beloved wife, Laurie Pultorak; his father-in-law, Robert Murphy; his brother and best friend Jeff Dionne; his son Brandon and Brandon’s fiancée, Jocelyn Peters; and Brandon’s children, Mason, Connor, Julianne, and Jimmy, who brought him endless joy as a grandfather. He is also survived by his sons Travis , Keith, and Joshua, and all of his nieces and nephews, whom he loved deeply.

Brian “Oompy” Pultorak will be remembered for his music, his kindness, and the way he made people feel seen and cared for. His legacy lives on in every chord played, every helping hand extended, and every smile shared in his memory.
