Came across this belatedly. I remember hanging out at John's house back in the 70's. He had such a winning personality. There was a sense of entering into a safe space when visiting the Fulginiti's. Lovely family. I can still hear his laugh.

I just heard about John's passing. I grew up with the Fulginiti Family in Tucson; our neighbors; 4 kids in the Fulginiti family and 3 in mine. John's passing saddens me; I'm so sorry for your loss! John was always very very kind to me; pretty sure I had a crush on him when we were kids. My prayers to John's entire family, wife, sons, Shirley, Laura, and Paul. I know he will be missed. Even though we lost touch of each other over many years....even when we were way younger I knew he was one of the good ones. Lovingly....Mary Thierman

I first met John when he was a student in my PCC/AZ state required class for new faculty. I later hired John as a statistician and psychologist in PCC's office of research and planning. He was always a delight to work with. Helped many with their projects and dissertations. Through Rotary, I knew John's father, Dr. Vince. Vince was so proud of John's achivements.
To Susan and your sons, my condolences. He left us too soon.

John was my go-to expert for me when I was using statistics to present the progress students were making in the PCC West Campus Reading Dept. I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with him as we went through the data because he was such a kind, cheerful, encouraging, insightful person--a joy to be in the presence of! His devotion to his family was evident in the decoration of his office. When Alexander was born, his door became a shine of photos to his new son. Lucas' and Susan's photos featured prominently too. I am so saddened by his death and wish he had had at least 20 more years to be a blessing to those who encountered him. My sincere condolences to his family.

I am so saddened to hear of John's death. As you say in the obituary, John could teach statistics to anyone. I was an English major and he helped me to break that science-humanities divide. I recall what a generous spirit John had, befriending and aiding (while encouraging independence) in others. His memory for me is one of the brightest points of light. May the light memories come to be ones that comfort all of you in John's family, esp. Susan.
