Memorial website in the memory of your loved one

This memorial website was created in the memory of GLENN EMERSON FULLER, who was born in Stanton, Michigan on March 26, 1929 and passed away at home with his daughter on May 02, 2008 in Henderson, Nevada. We will remember him forever; there will never be another man quite like him.

OBITUARY

Glenn Emerson Fuller “Sarge” passed on Friday, May 2, 2008 at the home of his daughter in Henderson, Nevada. Following 6 weeks of hospitalization resulting from stroke complications, he returned home for hospice care. He had lived 21 years in Ft. Sumner from August 1986 until the time of his first stroke August 29, 2007 when he joined his daughter, Debra Stefan, at her home in Nevada.

Glenn enlisted in the U.S. Army 8/26/46; served in both the Army and Navy until retirement 5/31/67 with over 20 years of military service including combat in Viet Nam, Dominican Republic and Cuban Crisis. He was a paratrooper “jump” school instructor for the distinguished 82nd Airborne Division at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina.

He married Barbara Ann Shaw of Ft. Sumner in July 1958 sharing 47 years together until the time of her passing May 4, 2004.

Cremated remains will be interred at Ft. Sumner Cemetery, as well as, the Veteran’s Memorial of Boulder City, Nevada. A remebrance gathering is planned at the home of his daughter and a service for friends in Ft. Sumner will be announced in the near future.

Glenn was known for his sense of humor, long white beard, and love of motorcycles. Glenn developed his interest in motorcycles as a boy on the farm when a friend of his sister took him and brother Fred riding on a motorcycle. He and Fred then got an “Indian” motorcycle from a farmer and got it running; this began the motorcycle passion that lasted his lifetime. Upon bringing Glenn home to Nevada, daughter Debra obtained a motorcycle license and installed a sidecar on Glenn’s favorite Harley to continue his love of riding. (See pictures on this memorial website.)

Glenn turned 79 years old on March 26.
