First and foremost I send my deepest condolences to his family and especially Ms. Mary. I searched for him or his family in Oct 23 but couldn’t get in touch with anyone. I even went by the apt building in Ucity, however to no avail no luck. I even did whitepages.com lol. Mr. Fulmer was a very heavy influence in my life and an awesome male figure. I met him staying in the apt building in Ucity when I was 6. Around this time I think the youngest son was a teenager so they had their own lives. He and I would talk about how I was doing in school and his kids. He showed me all of the tools and explained them to me. I learned a little about everything on how to rehab a property. I often got to help tape and mud or screw something in while he would sit there on the bucket patiently smoking his cigarette telling me to grab him another beer. I am very happy to have met him. I reached out a few times throughout the years at different milestones and he always was proud of me and told me to strive for more. Last time I spoke to him and saw him was almost 10 years ago to tell him I graduated college finally. I’m sad to know he is gone but happy he is in a better place. One thing I would say I know about him is that he lovvvvved his wife and children, beer, cigarettes, and cursing. I think I would make him proud with my potty mouth lol. Again I am sorry for your loss and Rest peacefully Mr. Fulmer.
