John “Dee” Douglas Tullier, 74, died Thursday, June 2, 2022, of complications from cancer.  John was born to Marion Paul Tullier and Frances Comiskey Tullier in Baton Rouge, where he was raised and attended Sacred Heart elementary school, graduating from Catholic High School and Louisiana State University with a B.A. in Finance.  John served in the United States Air Force as a pilot.  He was a veteran of the Vietnam War, flying more than 400 missions over southeast Asia and receiving four Distinguished Flying Crosses and sixteen Air Medals.  He went on to become a pilot with Delta Airlines, retiring as a Captain on the 737-800.
