“Jim” as he was known, was born Oct. 17, 1934 to John and Hattie Duff Fuller in rural Madison County. He attended Audubon High School.

Jim enlisted into the United States Navy when he was 17 years old, during the Korean Conflict. He was stationed on Korean and Vietnam waters throughout this time. Jim served a total of 19 years within the Navy before being honorably discharged. After his discharge, he returned to the Stuart area to make his home.

Jim was united in marriage to Carol Jeannine Haskins on Sept. 12, 1980 in Menlo. He was employed for several years by the Stuart School District within the janitorial department. He also worked at Waltz Inn for nearly 30 years.

Jim was a member of the Stuart American Legion. He and Carol could be found most any nice day at the golf course in Guthrie Center chasing that little white ball over the greens. Their constant companion over the past 10 years was Jenny, their Pomeranian, and especially the past year after Carol’s death. Besides golfing, Jim enjoyed playing cards, fishing, hunting, reading, camping at Meadow Lake, and spending time with all his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents, wife Carol on June 1, 2007, one daughter, Tamara Fuller; one sister, Betty Fuller; four brothers, Kenneth, Dale, John and Donald Fuller, and one grandson, Michael Opbroek.
