Virginia I am so saddened that I just learned of your lost of your husband years later of his passing. I treasured the e-mails from Wayne when my husband Art died in 2014. Arthur & Wayne were since childhood good friends and I regret that in later years when both of us were in Florida that the two friends were unable to connect. Virginia my sincerely condolences to you & your Family.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Mr. Fuller. He was such a wonderful and sweet man. He always made you smile with his humor. I will miss seeing him come into the bank with his walking stick. What a fighter he was!! My thoughts and prayers are with you through this very difficult time.

My deep sympathies to his wife and family on the passing of Mr. Fuller. He was such a warm, kind man. Mr. Fuller was my principal at Antheil Middle School back in mid 1970's. He would always say hi to me in the halls and made you feel special amongst 100's of students. After my family moved to Pennington, I got to see him at Pennington Presbyterian Church many a Sunday's. Mr. Fuller always the well dressed, handsome man, always had time for a chat. Truly, a gifted educator, he had a lasting impression on me. I became a schoolteacher myself. To his daughters, Dorothy and Virginia, I understand the immense loss, with both of my parents gone now, how hard this time is. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God provide comfort and strength to you all.
