Dear Carol and Mike:
Some time has passed since Alice notified me about your son. I just wanted to give you my heartfelt sympathy - I know from my own loss of my daughter you will never forget but please know there are people you can lean on when times are tough. Again - I am so sorry for your loss.

Alan,
Nearly 2 months and I wonder when you're coming back from this extended trip. I hope you're doing all of the things you had not yet been able too. I can't wait to hear your stories (exaggerated though they may be). We all wait for your return and can't wait to see you again.
Until then I remain..........

Big Al,
Just thought I would drop you a note to let you know what's happin. Spent the night going over scholarship applications. There are alot of good people that you can help out there. They all have the passion for the hospitality industry. I am not sure they have the guts or the patience for it.
I will let you in on a little secret....I picked your first recipient. I think you will agree on our choice. She is a close personal friend of ours and has that little extra something that makes it all worth while.
You have helped her in many aspects of her life and now you will help her get her education. Your love and your leadership live on.
Love ya Al........

Hey Al...
You just won't leave me alone! I think the fact that spring verging here in Albuquerque is making me think of you even more than I already did. We had so much fun in the spring and summertime....remember? Me, you, Pauly, Adriane, Steve, Rob and Billy...Everytime I drive past that big park near Pauly's old house I think of that time we decided to walk the three miles to visit him at one o'clock in the morning. They were surprised when we showed up, but not pleasantly. Oh well, they got over it. You keep inserting yourself into my daily thoughts...popping up here and there, refusing to go away, and I thank you for your persistence. It makes me feel close to you rather than missing you so much. See you later today, I'm sure.
Love,
erica

Big Al,
Tonight I miss you, again. I have a good idea and just wanted to bounce it off you.
Not sure of the potential success but everything is worth a conversation. What if we produce a "Hug Card"? It is a card we print and as we walk down the street and see someone we see that needs a hug, we give them a smile and a hug first.....then give them a "Free Hug" card for future use. When they are at their wits end and think it is too much to bear, they can redeem their card to anyone by giving them the card (which they can recycle at a later date, God knows we all need a hug every now and then) and getting a loving hug and a smile upon redemption.
It is just as I feel tonight thinking of you. I am laughing now. Admit it, you are too.
I miss you.
As you always say, "What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger".
I am very glad this is here to talk to you. I know you are close. I think of you often and only which you were her in person to share this cold beverage with me as I attempt to solve the world's problems.
As you always know, I am starting with my own.
Miss ya, Love ya....

Dearest Fuller Family - I met you in the office that day that you were here with Boo and I am so embarrassed that I did not hear who Boo said you were. Because of that, I did not take the opportunity to extend my heartfelt sympathies to both of you. Your son was a joy to work with and he had a tremendous zest for life which was infectous to all of those around him. I feel very blessed to have known your son. My prayers are with both of you and your daughter. We will all miss him.

Dear the Fuller family,
I am so sorry about your loss and the loss of such a good person and son. I have only known allen for a short time but he was a big insperation to me. I met Al about five years ago and I worked with him for the summer and I swear he was the biggest insperation to me. He joined the Navy, I joined the Coast Guard even though he tried to talk me out of it. And I should have listened. But I didn't and here I am now. I just moved back to Albq. and I heard the news and I wish there was somthing I could do to ease your pain. But I have talked to Caryl Cochran and I will do everything that I can to help with the Allen Fuller II Scholorship. To make sure Al lives on forever and ever.

Dear Carol & Mike,
I have been praying for you ever since I saw you last including today at church. Tragedies such as this shake us to our very foundation. My heart goes out to you, your family, and all Alan's friends. I wish I had the opportunity to know Alan personally. He leaves a legacy of memories and acts of kindness. I'm sure he wants you to somehow turn this great loss into something positive.
Love,
Kim

Mike, Carol & Shel,
Tonight you touched my heart. When we met at Alan's Life Celebration and we hugged, my eyes filled with tears and my mind with the wonderful memories of my friend. The love Alan shared with all he encountered and the love we all have for him shall continue and we all will share with each of you.
We are a family connected through him. Through the Michael Alan Fuller II Scholarship, he will continue to influence and help the lives of many young people for many, many years.
The gift you presented to Ben Nacion and myself is a treasure which we will always be so grateful.
The gift you gave to us was a son of character, of class, of joy and of love. For that, we can never express in words how thankful we are to you.

Dear Mike, Carol and Shel,
I can still remember the first time I met Alan. I think we must have been around 11 or 12. Shel and I were playing ball together and he was running around the field with the McQueen boys. I always remember Alan having fun. I went on to work with him at IGA during our high school years. I never had a bad night at work with him there. I read an earlier entry from Tim Whitten and yes I remember the practical jokes too. He was so funny. And always such a good guy. I'll never forget the good times we all had. The class of 88 just wouldn't have been the same without him. You have so much to be proud of. He truly was and is an inspiration. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I wish I could have met Allen's parents,you should be so proud of the job you did in raising a son like Allen,his free spirit,the funny little smile he was so quick to win you over with,his love of life showed in everything he did,the one thing everybody at the Maloof organization realized right off the bat is we have a winner here in New Mexico with Allen, he was a great addition to our family. I want his family to realize the love this man gave to his fellow man and every one he met, and the love New Mexico and everyone here has for him. Allen was snatched from us all way to early in his life but his love, warmth and friendship will always be with us. Allen we will miss you CHEERS.

My thoughts and prayers have been with the Fuller Family, and will continue to be. I was lucky enough to have been involved in Alan's hiring process at Boston Beer. From the very beginning, we knew we had found someone special - someone who cared for what he did and who he did it with. That feeling only grew stronger over time. I'll always remember Alan with a smile on his face, and a kind word to share. We were blessed to have had him in our lives.

I met Alan in New York City at a work event, and sat until the early hours of the morning discussing everything from his dogs, to his family, to living in the desert, all the while smiling and laughing the entire time. I will always remember Alan...He will be missed.

January 6, 2005
I was lucky enough to know Allan on two levels. Professionally and Personally. In his business and personal life the one word that comes up is PASSION. Allan had more passion for life and for his company. I have dealt with 100's of sales people in my career and Allan was one of the only honest forthright people out there. The world is a sadder place now that he is gone, but we can all take our memories to keep a smile on our face. Thanks for the memories Al,
Cheers

I was one of the lucky ones who met Al here in New Mexico. We had alot of good times and I will always cherish them.
I will always remember our road trip to Phoenix where we had a great time watching his beloved cubbies beat the diamondbacks, and us losing each other in the stadium due to a long day of partying.
He was a special friend who we all could count on in a time of need. My sympathies go out to his family, Marty, Stuart, and to his many friends in IL, NM, and WA. He is in a better place now, and Im sure there is rugby and drinks available 24 x 7.

I was honored to be a part of Alan's life. I met Alan at 94 rock when I was doing promotions for Coors. It was always fun times with him around. We liked working together so much that he took me to do promotions at National with him. Every time I spent with Alan feels like such a privledge. Thank you Alan for being such a great friend.

I just wanted to take a moment and send my condolences to the Fuller family, I did not know Alan that well even though we worked in the same division at the Boston Beer Co. What I do remember of him though was how outgoing and kind he was to me and everyone around him. When I left Sam Adams and heard that Alan would be taking over the open position, I was very excited for him, if there was anyone who could rock Seattle with Sam Adams it would be Alan.
Alan you will be missed, God bless you and your family.

I am fortunate to have met and known Alan Fuller. From the first day I worked with Al in New Mexico the the last day I worked with him in Seattle in November, Al was the most passionate person I have ever met. Passion for His dogs, his rugby, his friends, his co-workers, for those in need and his work (beer). Alan Michael Fuller II, my friend and co-worker had a huge impact on my life. I will remember him with a smile on his face and passion in his heart! I will miss you!

I had the pleasure of knowing Alan for 1 year. Never has a friend had an immediate impact in my life. I always looked forward to meetings when my path would cross with Alan's. Alan was a tremendous person and friend. He will be missed but his spirit will always be with me. My thoughts and prayers are with the Fuller family.

To The Fuller Family:
I was lucky enough to have met Alan last summer at one of our company meetings. He made such an impression on me with his wonderful smile, his sense of humor and his positive energy. We were on the same team at our team building event and it didn't take long for me to realize that he was a fierce competitor, I was just happy that we were on the same team! I wish I could've known him longer but feel so fortunate to have crossed paths with him in this lifetime. He will be deeply missed by all. My thoughts and prayers remain with your family.

What can I say that has'nt been said my many. To me, Alan was always a breath of fresh air, filled with humor good times, many stories, but intelligence and a mind set on what needed to be done. Few men can balance all of that with the success that Alan did. Just know this, Mike, Carol & Shel, you all had a part in the making of an unforgetable man, friend & everything he was to each person who has signed this guest book. Thanks for sharing him

I met Al several years ago when he started working in radio. We became friends from the start and were able to talk about anything. He was just that kind of guy. We were both going through some hard times at the time. He was just a wonderful guy with that smile and those eyes that could just light up any room. I am very happy for being able to spend the time I did when we went camping. I will miss you and may you rest in peace my friend.

I was fortunate enough to be Al's friend while he was in New Mexico. Al had one of the biggest hearts I've ever known and he was always encouraging when I needed it. I will miss his big hugs and warm smiles. "Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death." Isaiah 57:2.

It is January 3rd, and I have come back to work at 94rock after several weeks off for the holidays. During that time, there was not a day, and rarely a moment that Al was not in my thoughts. When Al and I were roommates five years ago, we decorated our house for Christmas with some great stuff that his mom Carol had given him. When we parted ways, he left me with a beautiful wreath and a lighted garland. I put them up every year, but this year, they were more than just decorations. Every time I looked at the mantle, or came home to my front door, I thought of my friend. There's not enough space here to tell you all what Alan meant to me, to my son and to Nye. (Alan actually introduced me to Nye Gallaway five years ago at the High Dirt tournament, and we've been together ever since!) In this life, we're lucky if we meet one or two friends who know us through and through...all of our secrets, faults and fears, hopes and failures. Al saved me at a time when I couldn't save myself, and he saw me at my worst, and brought me out of it. He and I went through painful break-ups with fiances at the same time, and bonded to each other for survival. He was my best friend, and knew everything there was to know about me. Now, that part of me goes to the grave with him. I miss my friend, and I will always treasure the times we had...Phish in Las Cruces, stories of Mattoon over morning coffee, wrestling matches with my son Julian, and some shamefully wild times too! He lived every moment full of passion, and he will live on in my memories everyday. I am so thankful to have met him and to have loved him.
I love you buddy!!!!!

How do we even put into words the loss of Al Fuller. I met Al 6 years ago thru a friend at 94 rock and was his roomate for another year. These were the best times of my life. Al had a contagious spirit that you could not help but want to be around. Al always was there for his friends and when i was out of work, Al got me a job at N.D. Thats the kind of man Al was. My brother and I traveled to Seattle four weeks ago and spent a night with Al. We ate seafood and enjoyed drinks. It was a great night and I will always be greatfull for it. We miss you AL!!

I feel the need to write again.
I can only begin to feel your pain!
Here it is New Years Eve and it is time to remember all those close to us ... we could move forward without tipping a glass to our beloved Al! What a Friend! Most are only given a few true friends in this life an I have been blessed with several. Tonight we all gathered together and toasted the life of our friend that wasn't with us tonight. What a loss! The world will not be half as wonderful without Al as it was with him! RIP "My Pal Al"! Here's to the family for allowing us to share their blessing ... Al!
He was the best ever! To the Fuller Family My DEEPEST Sympathy I am so very sorry for your loss. I feel your pain.

Dear Carol, Mike, and all family,
I now understand what my mother told
me when our first child was born. She said to remember "they are only on loan to us from God."I am so sorry for your loss. It has to be the worst pain a parent can ever bear. Hopefully inside the pain the loving memories will continue to bloom and crowd out the aching. You are in many prayers and thoughts. May you eventually find peace and comfort in knowing so many people care. As I read through the guest book it is obvious your son brought joy to others during his time on loan to you and the rest of the world.
Fondly, Connie Armentrout

I was so sorry to hear about Allen, I don't have proper words to say to help, but am sure you know that God has our life planned and that he must have needed Allen's good humor and kind manors in Heaven. It is too bad that we lost him here, but will be re-united in Heaven.

To the Fuller Family,
Your wonderful, ever positive Alan will be greatly missed by all of us at the Boston Beer Company. In a short amount of time he touched a great many people. As I mentioned before, my memory of Alan will always be of him standing on the pool deck of the Waikiki Beach Marriott with a Mai Tai in one hand, a Sam Adams in the other and a huge smile on his face. He was so happy to be in that exact spot at that exact moment. Now that I think of it, that is always how he was. Happy just to be. We were all lucky to know him. Best wishes as you try to heal through this awful loss.
Aloha, Lili

Mike, Carol, Aunt Mildred and Shel, Just want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Although I did not know Alan, have gotten a good idea of what he was like from reading this guest book. He must have been a wonderful person for so many people to care so much. We know that God has a plan for all of us and sometimes it is hard to understand. But..........we must have faith and know that all things happen for a reason. God Bless you all.

Alan will be greatly missed by all who had the chance to know him. I am so grateful for my trip to LA this July and the big bear hug I got from him as a welcome in the hotel lobby. He will forever be remembered as a warm, good hearted man!

December 30, 2004
Dear Mr.& Mrs. Fuller,
I didn't know Alan on a personal level. I only knew him though work. I probably drove him nuts with all my e-mails. But his responses were always quick and pleasant. I have a daughter Alan's age and because of this I gave her and my other two children a lot more hugs and kisses. My prayers are with you and your family. God Bless.
Lynn Neal
December 30, 2004
Dear Mike, Carol and Shel,
We hope your treasured memories of Alan, which you now hold so dearly close to you, be a comfort during this most difficult time.
I am honored to have taught Alan and to have seen him excel not only in the classroom but also in life. I will always remember him walking into my class with his special smile that brightened the room and a story I just had to hear.
We extend our sincerest sympathies to you.
Prayfully, Ed and Lynn Neal

Alan My Brother
Alan, you were always there for me…whenever I had a frown.
And when my head would get too big…it was you who would knock it down.
You were someone that lived life to the fullest…each and every day.
You could always bring a smile to my face…and make the hurt go away.
I never knew what you were thinking…or what the heck you may do.
Sometimes there were bear hugs involved…and usually a headlock or two.
I will never forget the laughter…and the good times that we shared.
You were the life of every party…and no one there was spared.
Alan, your heart was the biggest…of anyone I have ever known.
You always gave 100 percent…and I never heard you moan.
The friendship and the bond we had…could never be defined.
You will always be remembered by me…as funny, giving and kind.
Your life was full of energy…and you lived it without fears.
The pain and emptiness I have now…can be found within my tears.
It all seems like a bad dream to me…I can’t believe you’ve been taken away.
Alan my brother you will be missed by me…each and every day.

On behalf of the whole Waggoner Family, I extend deepest sympathies to the family. Alan's great grandmother, Faye Waggoner was the sister of Glen Waggoner, my great-grandfather. My mother is Virginia "Jenny" Waggoner-Rackley and she knew Felix and Mildred and was deeply saddened to hear the news. I think it is wonderful that websites like this help family and friends. I've learned so much about a relative I never knew, but am deeply moved by all those who thought so much of him, the loss is mine.

To the Fuller Family:
Words cannot begin to express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Alan and I became friends after his recent move to Seattle. He was truly one of a kind, unlike anybody else I have ever met and I am so lucky to say he was a friend, even if it was only for a short period of time. I will always remember Alan for the smiles, his generosity and kind heart. Thanks for the memories, Alan…you will be truly missed by all of those in Seattle whose lives you have touched.

To the Fuller Family:
My deepest sympathies. Alan was definately one of a kind. I had the pleasure of getting to know Alan very well while working with him at IGA in Mattoon in the mid to late 80's. We kicked it off instantly (as he did with everyone he met) and spent many good times together. He had an infectious personality that made everyone around him smile and/or laugh. Some of the practical jokes he played on those slow evenings at the store are legendary. Alan...you will be missed.

How many ways can you describe such a wonderful, caring, loving, hard working, unique man? I don't think there are enough to describe Alan. I am thankful for getting to know Al and working with him while he was here. Al was a true friend, he would always come by when he was "in the neighborhood" just to say "hi" and try to plan a lunch get together. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. We will see you on the other side Al, you will be missed but never forgotten. Love ya! Barb

What can I say about Alan? He was one of the good guys. He was such a thoughtful, kind, caring individual as I have ever come to know. Just thinking about that big smile with his cute dimples and his sparkling eyes brings a smile to my heart. This place is not going to be the same without him. Alan just know that you were and are still loved and will always be remembered and missed. Thanks for all the great times and laughs. See you on the other side.

What a touching tribute to Alan yesterday. As Friends and Family spoke, they all had different stories to tell, but with the same ending. "Alan was full of Love,Kindness, and Energy" Always there with a Smile and a Big BEAR HUG. I could have listened to them for hours.
What an extraordinary person you are and always will be. I am glad You and I along with Greg and all the others, had the time together back in the summer of the late 80's I will never forget those days and nights. I did not realize until yesterday, How Lucky I am to have been touched, just by knowing one person.
Aaron "Buck" Burnett

You never get use to it when you lose someone. It is never easy, espically when they are taken without warning and so very young. Al was an exceptional person, in both friendship and business. For the family I would like to say this: I am truly sorry for your loss, and to let you know that your son, brother, and grandson, is smiling somewhere and the sun is shining on his smiling face.
Beth Gattas
December 27, 2004
Al was a great and unique person. He always entered a room with his smile and hugs for everyone. His spirit will live in all who had the privilage of knowing his kind heart. My condolences to the Fuller family. He will be sorely missed.

What a great tribute and an honor for Alan today was. He truly touched everyone that was there today and so many more. I will always remember his contagious smile and his laughter. The little boy I first met at school, with the twinkle in his eye and mischievous way. Your family has a place in our hearts forever. God bless you. Love you all.

The one guy we all need at a bad time like this is Al. And, he IS with all of us. We're lucky enough to have known him, even though the time was too short. We will always have Al's spirit in all of us.

Al,
Your character, your heart, and your soul has and always will touch people in a positive, encouraging way.
I send my deepest condolences to the Fuller Family.
I had the fortunate chance to meet Al's father, and it was obvious that his character shone through in Al's personality.
Find the inspiration in Al's passing to touch people the way Al touched our lives.

I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. He was as good of a friend as anyone can aspire to be. How could a guy work that hard all the time and still smile that much?
As someone who's lost loved ones to auto accidents as well, my thoughts and prayers are with the Fuller family.

How could I sum up such a fabulous person? The moment I looked into Al's eyes I knew that this was a person with not just a love of life, but a passion for living it. A man who loved and respected both family and friends! Thank you Al for showing me to not be afraid to live life to its absolute fullest! You are missed, may Heaven offer you the best trails and fields that you can handle!

Alan always lived his life to the fullest, in many ways he is an inspiration to me. He had incredible work ethic and yet he always had a good time. Thanks for the memories.

Rachelle, Mike, Carol,
I've been trying to find the right words for days now, but I find that there are no words that can truly ease the pain. If caring thoughts can help, know that they are with you there right now and always.
May love's everlasting connection lift you, hold you close, and give you peace.

If I had to pick any of my friends that I most admired and wanted to be like, it would definately be Al. I've never met anyone with a stronger work ethic. He didn't understand how to do something half way, he always did it 100%. Al made me laugh harder than anyone else, and we had some of the best times I've had in my life together, and I can't imagine what life is going to be like without him. I will always consider Al one of my best friends, and there will be a million things to remind me of him in the coming years. Al always had your back, unconditionally, and even when you probably didn't deserve it. He will be sorely missed, and without a doubt, Al will be irreplacable. Rest in peace my friend, we'll talk soon I hope.

Shel and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Everybody's loss...Alan was a great person and full of humor and goodness. Whenever I remember Alan it's always with a smile and a chuckle...teaching me how not to play tennis always brings a smile to my face when I go past a court.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Good tunes, a beer in hand, and a bike in the stand. Life with Al. He would always say, "I may never catch you on the climbs, but you'll never catch me going down!" And it's true - I could never catch him. How's the singletrack up there, my friend?

Carol, Mike and Shel :We will not be able to tell you in person how much we hurt for you. We are leaving on a trip. Alan did so much good in the short time he was here. This is not the way it is supposed to be. We hope you can somehow find some sense from this. I don't know how, but I know if anyone can, you can. In deepest sympathy. Lila and Keith

Baba,
I will always remember you and hold your wonderful smile close. I'm sure that I have never know anyone with such a wonderful and big heart. Those who were fortunate enough to have you as a friend were very, very lucky. I believe that your spirit is having a great time where ever it is and you feel all our love. I would like to send my deepest sympathy to all of your family.

Scanning the news from the hometown, I couldn't believe it when I came accross this news. I looked at my wife and simply said, "It is absolutely true that only the good die young." Deeply sorry for your loss.

I have such wonderful memories of growing up in the Fuller house and the best of Alan's humor. His spirit will continue to live in all of us. Mike, Carol & Shel, I love you all and i wish i could be there with you now.
"...if only i had a million dollars" will forever make me laugh. This is how i will remember.

Although most of my memories of Alan come from my childhood, they still feel like yesterday. I met Alan when I was 4 and became friends with Shel in kindergarten. It wasn't long after that the Fuller's became part of my extended family. Alan's humor was contagious. For me, I will remember him best for sitting around the table cracking jokes and for the countless summers he spent throwing us in the pool (sometimes requested, sometimes not). God bless.

Al was a great friend and co-worker. The loss of him has touched me in a way that I can not describe, yet every time I think of him I seem to have a smile on my face. Thinking of all of the "good" times we had at Chelsea's, you showed me how to live life to the fullest. THANK YOU!
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. God Bless.
