Everyone knew Tom by his great looks, great personality, great everything. He was my daughter's Godfather. He was a true athlete and gentleman. He was always there for the underdog. There are way too many kind things to say about him and I will value our friendship forever.... (by Wendy Wall)

I remember looking up to Tom Fuller as a significant role model for any athlete at GGHS. His smile was constant and infectious and he always had a friendly comment for everyone. I don't think he really knew who I was and that is of no consequence, but I do know that he had a part in shaping my life even though he most likely had no idea he did. His passing is felt deeply.Scott Hoganson (1969)
I'm very saddened to learn of Tom's death. He was a special friend, always there with a warm smile and encouraging comment.Michelle Mize (1970)
I can't belielve he is gone and am especially saddened by the way he was taken. Please know that he was a cool, cool guy in his high school years and I am sure that he took that with him into adulthood. - Along with his great looks, wonderful giving personality and the pure enjoyment it was just being around him. I think just about every girl in school had a crush on him. He will be missed. I wanted to see him again. Warmest regards, Michelle MizeChristine Schwalm (Thomas) (1969)
This is so sad to hear...I remember him as just a great guy, student and athlete. A role model. Was he married or have any kids? That info was not included in this.Mary Lou Rust (Almond) (1969)
I don't remember school without Tom. We grew up on oppposite ends of the same block in the 50's. We sat at the same desk in 3rd grade @ Stanley Elementry & I rembember him doing a good Yogi Bear impression back then. I remember him as a truly nice guy & am saddened by his passing. He'll be missed by all, I'm sure. He was married to fellow clasmate, Patty Rezuto. I am not sure if they were still married @ the time he passed away or not. I'm not sure if they ever had children or not.

Tom was married to Patti Rizuto for close to 30 years and have a son Brandon who has two children. He was 51 (not 41) years when he was killed in a hit/run accident, while riding his Harley in No. Calif. The Fuller's, Glenn & Velma, also lost their two other sons, Tim and Jim in the last few years as well. Bless their souls for enduring the loss of three sons and surviving them....

I was also raised in the same Neighborhood as Tom and his Family on Pine St. Tom was very warm friendly person. What a sad loss to Patty and their Son. I am very heart broken to hear of the loss of Tim and Jim also. Mr. and Mrs. Fuller have experienced a very sad loss of all of their Sons. My prayers and condolences to a wonderful family💐
