Alfred Gleason Dwight Fuller ’40

Al "Greek" Fuller, son of Clifford '05, died Sept. 5, 1996, at his Jackson, N.H., home. Greek was from St. Paul's School and at Princeton was a member of Cottage Club, majored in geology, and played four years of ice hockey. His roommates were Jim Hundley, Bim Burkham, Ralph Yardley, and Crawf Madeira. During WWII, Greek saw combat service as a Navy officer reaching the rank of lieutenant commander and was present at the surrender of Japan.

Before moving to Jackson in 1972, he was a v.p. of Vance Sanders, Inc., an investment banking firm, and lived in Weston, Mass. In his Jackson years Greek worked as a carpenter and at the Dana Place Inn. He was a very accomplished skier and enjoyed the outdoors and summer gardening.

At Princeton Greek was a popular figure known for his congenial personality, sense of humor, and friendly disposition. On the hockey rink he was a quick, aggressive forward whose powerful and accurate shots on goal contributed to more than one victory.

Greek is survived by his wife, Judy; daughter Ann; sons Alfred Jr., John, and Whitney; stepdaughter Edith, and 11 grandchildren. To them all the class expresses its sympathy. We bid a fond farewell to this well-liked classmate who fully upholds the tradition, "'40 hockey players never die, they just skate away."
