Date of Birth: March 28, 1955
Date of Death: September 06, 2021
Peter Joseph Gulick went to be with the Lord on September 6, 2021. He was born to Pete and Mary Gulick on March 28, 1955 in Erie, Pennsylvania. Peter married his high school sweetheart, Carol, on April 30, 1976 and they moved to Phoenix, AZ in 1978. Peter is survived by his spouse Carol, son Todd, daughter Amy, daughter Jenny (spouse George Klink), son Neal and granddaughter Katie. He rejoins his son Scott in heaven. Peter is also survived by his brothers Dave, Gerry and Chuck and sister Joyce. He had many close friendships throughout the years, but none closer than the bond he shared with his sister Joyce. Peter completed his Ph.D. (Professional Hairdresser) schooling at Orra-Jean Beauty Academy in Erie, PA in 1974. The “Hairwiz” was born. Peter began to style hair at Gulick Brothers Hair in 1978. People didn’t just return for a great haircut, but for the memorable conversations and lasting friendships that were formed. In 2017 he opened an independent studio and continued seeing many of his long-time clients. Peter was so fulfilled by his career he would always say, “If I didn’t do hair, I don’t know what I would do”. On any given Sunday, you would hear Peter proclaim, “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” To God be the glory forever and ever!

my condolences to Carol, Todd, Amy and Neal and the entire Gulick family , peter was always in my heart it was him that made a difference in my spiritual quest that goes on to this day, you are a soul of pure good intent and you were tested immensely for it but you never waivered in your faith and that was always inspirational to me. Dave, chuck, jerry and Joyce i pray that you find peace in all of this i will love this family till I pass myself you all did so much for me that you don’t even realize their isn’t a day that goes by that i don’t think about my time with you.
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. ” Peter years ago we talked about the Butterfly affect and i have never lost the knowledge and understanding that everything happens for a reason, I was asked not to long ago how do we know what our purpose in life is and I just responded that your purpose could have already been fulfilled years ago or it’s waiting around the corner, i have done some terrible things in my life that maybe has showed someone else what not to do I affected them in a way they did not want to be like that so maybe my actions caused some good i have also done some good things that maybe affected someone’s life and I didn’t know it. thank you Peter for a life long commitment to doing better. i love you and miss you>
P.S brothers in Christ always, put a good word in for me I’m going to need it.
Dear Carol and family,
I had the honor of knowing Pete since 1982! I started my service with Gulick Brothers on Cave Creek Road. We have had traveled our journey by sharing stories of raising our children. Our kids even attended the same elementary school, Cactus view. Pete cherished Carol and was always quick to tell me of a kind deed or sweet task she would take on while still working. Then I was able to visit his new endeavor of “Studio 3601”.
He was so excited to continue services at a more relaxed environment. He thought of all and any way he could to make the experience at 3691 to be his best. Then lastly he used his talent to the glory of God. He choose to serve the less fortunate in downtown Phoenix. He was happy to make house call hair cut trips to care for my husband Paul after his severe stroke. I have no doubt God is saying,” job well done Pete.” I just wanted to share with family and friends how great of a man, friend and Christian Pete truly had been during the time God gave him here on earth. Thank you for sharing Pete with me. Love to all,
Karen Schellhase

To Carol and the Gulick family. I just recently heard about Pete’s passing last year and was very saddened by that news. I have nothing but fond memories of Pete from our HS days at Academy and our time together on the baseball team there. I often tell the story of how Pete talked me into getting “a perm” when I was home from college on spring break one year. He did the perm and I did not leave the house for a few days afterwards but Pete was right as he said, : you will love it as it will be much easier to take care of your hair, plus it made me look like the musician John Oates brother. I am so glad him and I talked a bit back in 2016 and 2017 when my son was working in Phoenix for a short while and even though we could not visit with each other on my trip to the area, I will always keep the memory of our conversations in my mind. Rest in peace my friend
