Ernest Charles Pusey (born May 5, 1895 in Washington, D.C.) is Florida's oldest living person, GM's oldest pensioner, and since September 23, 2006 Florida's last surviving veteran of the First World War.

He joined the United States Navy, and then fought aboard the battleship Wyoming during World War I. Mr. Pusey has outlived a son and two wives. He has four grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.

He currently lives in Bradenton and enjoys eating out at restaurants. He started at GM in 1926 after serving as a sailor. He retired in 1958. He is now GM's oldest pensioner, having received a pension for far longer than he actually worked.

In November 2006, Pusey was awarded a belated WWI Victory Medal by Florida governor Jeb Bush. On November 10, 2006 Maurice Floquet died and Pusey became the third-oldest verified man in the world.
