To the family and friends of David Fulford,

Seeing David's obit in the New York Times stirred many wonderful memories of his Canal Fulton summer theater.

My Mother was a devoted fan from the start and never missed a show. We had the same front row seats all through my childhood until I grew up and went away to university.

I loved the shows just as much as my Mother did...who could forget Edward Everett Horton...and Hugh O'Brian and all the other actors he...

Nancy & Everett,

Nancy's and my mutual friend Sandy Smith sent the sad news to me out here in Los Angeles. David was to me, the epitome of a gentleman. I believe I spent five summers working at Canal Fulton and also did one show at Ravenna.

He always treated me with the greatest respect, even though I only played small parts or was in the chorus until my last two shows. I remember fondly the opening night parites at David and Everett's house at the Canal Fulton theatre. ...

Dear Everett & Nancy:
I am so sorry to hear of David's death. Working at the Carousel provided some of the best memories of my life. I always enjoyed his company and learned much about theatre and getting a show on its feet from him. I am forever grateful to him for letting me be a part of his theatre.

Dear Everett and Nancy,

I am saddened to learn of David's passing. I will always cherish and be grateful for the memories and opportunities David gave me in summers at Canal Fulton. I will always remember with humor and love our film endeavor. I will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

David was a patient in my dental practice. He was always a pleasure to treat, a real gentleman. Coincidentally, I worked as a trumpet player for 2 summers in a stock burlesque show in my late teens travelling the straw hat circuit in New England. We spoke about my exploits, but he never bragged about his own accomplishments.
I am sorry for your loss.

Everett & Nancy... I am so sorry for your loss.

David hired me in 1966 as the drummer for Canal Fulton and later for Carousel. That was the start of a 40+ year career with that company ending in January of 2008.

We had a WONDERFUL run thanks to you all.

I had just spoken to Prescott about David in late December.

He will be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss,Everett
& Nancy.I will always remember my friends at the summer theatre.
He was a special friend,& I think of him often. May God comfort you.
Love,Madonna Kutcher
