In memory of an unsung champion for Stoughton, MA.

Mr. Fullerton donated countless hours spanning many decades for the betterment of Stoughton. The town my father loved.

Stoughton was the town of his birth, life of 87 years and his final days.

Today Stoughton residents unwittingly enjoy elderly and public housing, schools and other town services due to his unselfish efforts. And will continue to for many generations to come.

Public service, dedication and time were his gifts. Public benefits are now his legacy.

They don't make them like the used to.

In loving memory, rest in peace Dad.

Your son,

John

Mr. Fullerton,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army Air Forces during WW II fighting the Japanese in the CBI and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. The men who served in the CBI fought under some of the toughest conditions during WW II with very very little supplies and hardly any recognition in what was referred to as the "Forgotten Front," but they succeeded in holding down many Japanese military resources that could have been used elsewhere. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
