Glen Emerson Fuller

Glenn Emerson "Sarge" Fuller, 79 a longtime Fort Sumner, NM resident passed on Friday, May 2, 2008 at his daughters home in Henderson, Nevada following six weeks of hospitalization resulting from stroke complications. He made his home in Fort Sumner for 21 years from August 1986 until the time of his first stroke August 29, 2007 when he joined his daughter, Debra Stefan in Nevada. Glenn enlisted in the U.S. Army 8/26/46; served in both the Army and Navy until retirement 5/31/67 with over 20 years of military service including combat in Viet Nam, Dominican Republic and Cuban Crisis. He was a paratrooper “jump” school instructor for the distinguished 82nd Airborne Division at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. He married Barbara Ann Shaw of Ft. Sumner in July 1958 sharing 47 years together until the time of her passing May 4, 2004. Glenn was known for his sense of humor, long white beard, and love of motorcycles. Glenn developed his interest in motorcycles as a boy on the farm when a friend of his sister took him and brother Fred riding on a motorcycle. He and Fred then got an “Indian” motorcycle from a farmer and got it running; this began the motorcycle passion that lasted his lifetime. Upon bringing Glenn home to Nevada, daughter Debra obtained a motorcycle license and installed a sidecar on Glenn’s favorite Harley to continue his love of riding.
