Mr Fulkerson was just a very nice and pleasant man. He always had something nice to say to everyone. VHS is a better place because of him.

As a teacher at VHS during the same time as Mr. Fulkerson, I appreciated all the "behind the scenes" work he and the others did to maintain the campus. He lived his values and was a gracious and kind man. I wish him peace.

I was a senior at VHS in 1982-I remember Cecil ( I was active in many activites) he was always a friendly role model for so many students. I was sad to see his obit. In the paper-I hope his retirement has been full of adventures and happy memories. He left a positive mark on Cougar Country!
Sorry for your loss.
