FULLER, Roy Alonzo, 67, of Richmond, Virginia, was born October 22, 1946, and died unexpectedly in his Lakeside home on Friday, April 4, 2014. His parents, Luther and Alice Fuller; and sister, Sue, preceded him in death. Roy "Rusty" is survived by his big brother, Roger "Buck;" and leaves behind beloved daughters, Stephanie and Dianne; favorite nephews, Jason, Tony, J.R. and Tom; niece, Linda; and the littlest loves of his life, grandchildren, Phoebe, A.J. and Christopher; plus a whole host of grandnieces, grandnephews and in-laws. Roy graduated Hermitage High School in 1966, served as a Merchant Marine in Vietnam in the late 60s, studied HVAC systems in the early 70s, then settled down into a mostly quiet life of advocacy and devotion to his favorite cause, listening to great music, and entertaining his companions and guests with stories of intrigue, conspiracy, and social revolution. Despite the tragic circumstances surrounding his death, there is some comfort in knowing that Roy died doing exactly what he most loved. A funeral service will be held at Bennett Funeral Home, 8014 Lee-Davis Rd., in Mechanicsville, Va., at 11 a.m. Monday, April 14, 2014. A graveside service will follow at Northern Neck Memorial Gardens, 268 Northumberland Hwy., in Callao, Va., at 4 p.m. so that Roy can be laid to eternal rest at 4:20 p.m. Friends are encouraged to don their favorite tie-dye or rock or reggae band t-shirt in Roy's honor.
