Lee M. Fuller Jr. ’60

Lee died Jan. 4, 2016, after a brave struggle with cancer and related complications. Before his final illness, he had a long and successful career in the law, specializing in immigration work. In recent years he practiced as Fuller & Fuller in partnership with his son, Scott.

At Princeton, Lee was a member of NROTC, was active in extracurricular work, and joined Ivy Club. He then served for two years in the Navy aboard the USS Essex, seeing action in the Bay of Pigs, and continued for 31 years in the active reserves, rising to the rank of captain in the JAG Corps. After service and working full time for John Lindsay’s New York City mayoral campaign, Lee joined the New York firm of Shearman & Sterling, where he worked until forming his own firm in 1978.

Lee is survived by his former wife, Anina; their son, Scott; daughters Lisa and Kristina, and their spouses; seven grandchildren; his sister, Gretchen; and his widow, Vicki, whom he married in 2012 after a “a whirlwind 23-year courtship.” In our 50th-reunion book, Lee reflected on the joys of their Sag Harbor, N.Y., retreat, their mutual love of the Metropolitan Opera and all of New York’s cultural offerings, and their travels to many places. The class sends sympathy to all of his family.
