He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend to many. Special friends include Don Sharp, Mac McMahon, and
Andrew Morgan. He will be forever missed. Bob was a longtime member of First United Methodist Church in Oak Ridge. His
family is grateful to the staff at Morning Pointe in Clinton and U.T. Hospice for their kindness and exceptional care during his

I was so sad to hear the news about Dr. Fuller, and I´m so sorry for your loss. He was a great doctor and so gifted as a physician, he was always so kind, and he truly cared for his patients. You couldn´t visit him without being greeted with a big smile and being affected by his contagious laugh. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. Prayers for comfort and strength for your family.

I wasn´t made aware of Dr. Fuller´s passing until a few minutes ago.
Dr. Fuller was our father´s dermatologist . . . and one of the finest men my family has ever known.
He would see our elderly father, who was a retired engineer, and epic talker, on days when he had a slot in his schedule whether Dad needed to be seen or not. Dad was a stage four melanoma patient when Dr. Fuller took him on. I´m quite convinced Dr. Fuller did so, just so Dad could get out and have someone to which he could talk.
Toward and at the end of our father´s life, as he was bed ridden and under hospice care, Dr. Fuller traveled, twice, from Oak Ridge to Mother & Dad´s home in west Knoxville, on Saturday just to visit.
This meant more to our family than anyone will ever know.
I´m quite positive we´re not the only ones that can tell a story such as this.
We feel your loss in our hearts, and know that Dr. Fuller´s compassion has been passed to his children and grandchildren, and know that the world will be better for it.
Godspeed, Robert
