Reverend Hugh Fullmer

Our fathers were cousins and both families lived in Elmhurst,IL. I was very fond of his wonderful mother, Marie. His father Joe was great too.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.Hugh was a good friend and my golf buddy!

We were very sad to learn of the passing of Father Hugh Fullmer. My wife, Sharon, and I were very pleased to have Father Hugh serve as our Pastor on Sundays at Sharon, Wisconsin. Father Hugh said Masses at St. Catherine Church and area churches until his passing. We were very fortunate to have him with our parish family. He was truly a fine priest and welcomed all who attended. Father Hugh was very knowledgeable of the Bible and well traveled to many places in the world. These journeys...

Hugh was always such a positive and wonderful influence on everyone he touched. I grew up in Villa Park and often rode the bus with him to Quigley when he lived in Elmhurst. My condolences to his family & friends & to Fr. John Clements. Tom McNamara QN'64

Favorite memories with Fr. Hugh We met Fr. Hugh the day after he moved into the rectory at OLM. My then seven year old son had stolen a Pokeman card from a friend. I dragged my son to the rectory for confession. Afterward the pair came out smiling and laughing like old friends. During Advent 2004 Fr. Hugh, Fr. Allam, and I took my kiddos to see the Polar Express. My youngest son was 6 at the time. He and Fr. Allam sat side by side sharing popcorn. Fr. Hugh and I spent much of the movie...
