Arthur John FULLER

FULLER, Arthur John
August 15, 1939 - December 3, 2015
Surrounded by his family, Arthur passed away at the age of 76 years. He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 54 years Joan, his children Lyle (Rhonda), Janice (John), Lianne (Corbin), his grandchildren Brooklyn, Madisyn and Jaxon, his brother Hugh (Louise) and sister Marion (Jim), and numerous nieces and nephews.
Arthur was born and lived in St Paul, where he retired from teaching in 1994. In 2005 he relocated to Edmonton where his children, and brother and sister reside. He was recognized as being the ultimate builder and designer of model airplanes and a guru at resolving aerodynamic issues. Arthur enjoyed discussing global politics and was an expert on anything relating to military aircraft or armaments. He was proud of his Canadian heritage, had a keen sense of fairness, and always provided a helping hand to anyone in need whether it related to a model aircraft or to a vehicle stuck in a snowdrift. He lent a hand because it was fundamentally the right thing to do.
Arthur brought us all, and particularly his grandchildren, the gift of love and laughter and a great appreciation of life which we will always treasure.
The family would like to thank the staff at the University of Alberta Hospital for their compassionate care.
Cremation has taken place and, at Arthur's request, no funeral service will be held. A private interment will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, and in recognition of his love for animals, donations may be made to the Edmonton Humane Society or the charity of one's choice.
