E.E. Fuller Jr. ’40

Tom died Jan. 30, 2006, in the 60th year of his marriage to the former Ellen S. O'Neil. Earlier, he summed it all up, writing, "It's been a life to be thankful for."

He prepared at Lawrence High School, Falmouth, Mass., and Williston Academy in East Hampton, Mass. At Princeton, Tom majored in chemical engineering; was on the freshman and senior baseball teams, receiving the IAA medal for the championship; and was a member of Princeton Engineering Society and the Princeton Chapter of AIChE.

During World War II, he was a captain in the Army Corps of Engineers and was awarded three battle stars and the Presidential Unit Citation for his service in the European theater. Injured in Germany, he was discharged.

Upon graduation, Tom spent a short period with Phillips Petroleum; thereafter, his whole career was with the Coca-Cola Co. in various managerial and executive positions. He held memberships in several professional societies and served on the board of the Sandy Springs Community Association and the Atlanta (Ga.) Personnel Roundtable.

Tom enjoyed fishing, travel, reading, and time with his family.

In addition to Ellen, he is survived by his children, Cynthia Fuller, Marion Aller, Mark, and Andrew, and two grandchildren. His classmates extend their sympathies to his family.
