Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I worked with Dr. Fulton from 1962-1963 as a dental assistant,having just graduated from St.Mary’s high school. He trained me and working with him was a privelege. I still have on my dresser the gift he gave me for Christmas in 1962. He was a wonderful and helpful man.Hope he had a great life.
Carolyn, As I read your Dad’s obituary, I remembered a young, enthusiastic, Girl Scout who visited the GS office on East Central. I was a young staff member at the time. All though many years have past, I wanted to send my hope that are receiving consolation from that that your Father had a long full life. My best to you and your family.
