Obituary of Richard George William Fullerton
IN THE CARE OF

Assman's Funeral Chapel

On Sunday, August 15th, 2021 Richard George William Fullerton, loving husband and father, passed away at the age of 72 after a brief battle with cancer.

Rick was born on December 6th, 1948 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia to George and Marjorie (Macglashen) Fullerton. The family moved across Canada to Castlegar, BC in the early 60’s where he attended Stanley Humphries High School and met his future wife Pamela who he married on December 19th, 1975. Their only daughter, Kathleen, was born in 1978. Rick worked for over forty years in the pulp and paper mill industry, the majority of those years as a machine operator in the bleach plant with local 603.

Rick was an avid outdoorsman who spent as much time as he could with his friends in the wilderness hunting moose, fishing at Trembluer Lake or just kicking back at his cabin at Summit Lake. He was also a passionate hockey and baseball player who loved the Vancouver Canucks and the Toronto Blue Jays. He devoted much of his later years to the Oldtimers Hockey League both as a player and as a master craftsman skate sharpener. He also won several medals at the BC Senior Games including a Gold Medal in Hockey in 2008. He was known for his big heart, generous spirit and good-natured sense of humor.

Rick was preceded by his father George, and his mother Marjorie. He is survived by his wife Pamela, his daughter Kathleen, his brother Robert, his sister Dianne, several cousins, nieces, and nephews, and his beloved dog, Sadie.
