Bob grew up in the Palestine area, where he dedicated his life to working the fields as a farmer. He was decidedly “old school”, in that he worked hard without complaint. In fact, the man always had a smile on his face. When he wasn’t in the field, he sold Pioneer seed for over 25 years. He also busied himself with gardening and mowing yards. Even as he grew older, he never let dust settle. Anyone who knew him could attest to the fact that the man had a big heart. Not only did he know everybody, but he got along with everybody as well. Needless to say, relationships were vital to Bob and played a very important role in his life. Few things brought him more joy than simply conversing with neighbors, friends, or anyone who would take the time to talk to him. More than anything, however, Bob Fuller loved his family. He was a faithful husband, a proud father, and a doting grandfather and great-grandfather. They, along with his many friends will long remember Bob’s life as one of integrity, dedication, and perseverance. He was a life member of the Farm Bureau and a past and longtime member of the Palestine Lion’s Club. A time of visitation will be held 4:00-7:00 p.m. on Friday, March 30th at the Goodwine Funeral Home in Palestine. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 31st at the funeral home with Celebrant Curt Goodwine officiating. Burial will follow in the Oak Grove Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society, with envelopes available at the funeral home.
