Arthur E. Fuller, age 90, a resident of Manitowoc, entered eternal life on Monday, November 9, 2020 at Tender Reflections.
Art was born on May 22, 1930 in Beloit to the late Guy and Ellen (Oestreich) Fuller Sr. He graduated from Waukesha High School with the class of 1948. Art had worked at the family business, Karmelcorn, in Manitowoc. On August 5, 1950, Art married Marilyn Holtz at St. John’s United Church of Christ in Manitowoc. She preceded him in death on September 9, 2020. In 1955, Art began working for the Manitowoc Police Department and also enlisted into the 377th Ordinance Co (DAS) USAR in Manitowoc. In 1966, he accepted a full-time position with the Wisconsin National Guard as a Unit Administrator for 2nd Rifle & Weapons Platoon of Company B in Two Rivers along with being a squad leader. In May of 1973, Art was promoted to 1SG E-8, became the 1st SG B Battery 1-121FA in Plymouth. His leadership development made many fine soldiers who carried those skills until their retirement. 1SG Art was then deployed to Operation Reforger in Germany where his skills as a top rated sergeant proved excellent as he played many roles to get the job done. After returning home in 1986 from Germany, he then continued making young men into soldiers until he felt his job was complete. He retired in 1990, but was recalled and ordered to active duty in support of Operation Desert Shield / Desert Storm where he was assigned to HQ CO, USAS Fort McCoy, WI. Art was then assigned to a family assistance center in Green Bay to prepare National Guard and Army Reserve Units for active duty until July 8, 1991 where he was assigned back to USAR Control Group (retired). Over the course of his 34 years of service, Art achieved numerous awards. He had a love for deer hunting in the Boulder Junction area for over 60 years. Art also was an avid coin collector. And as a resident of Tender Reflections, he loved wearing sunglasses, had a fetish for pens, and was never without a flashlight.
Survivors include Art’s three children, Catherine (Paul) Kohlman, Michael Fuller, and Mark (Debbie) Fuller, all of Manitowoc; seven grandchildren, Lisa (Todd) Spaeth, Erik (Sandra) Kohlman, Brandon Fuller and his fiancée Stephanie, Tracy (Ronnie) Olson, Cassandra Seidl and her special friend Travis, Jake Fuller and his fiancée Jessica, and Bryanna Fuller and her special friend Alex; 10 great grandchildren, Melanie, Tyler, Trevor, Neroli, Margo, Olivia, Justin, Zoey, Kaden, and Corbin; sister, Patricia (Robert) Clark, Manitowoc; brother-in-law, William (Priscilla) Holdorf, Raeford, NC; sister-in-law, Charlotte Gagner, Jacksonville, FL; also nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Art was preceded in death by his parents, Guy and Ellen Fuller Sr.; two brothers, Guy Fuller Jr. and Raymond Fuller; brother-in-law, Jack (Katherine) Holtz; also, other relatives and many friends.

'Cause here on earth it feels like
Everything good is missing since you left
And here on earth everything's different
There's an emptiness
Oh, oh, I
I hope you're dancing in the sky
And I hope you're singing in the angel's choir
And I hope the angels know what they have
I'll bet it's so nice up in heaven since you arrived
Since you arrived
