Glen Eugene Fuller Glen Eugene Fuller, 78, passed away peacefully early Monday morning December 27, 1999. Glen was born in 1921 and raised on a farm in Eden, Utah where he learned the values of work, honesty, integrity and justice. He lived these values throughout his life and spent every day striving to satisfy his thirst for knowledge of the world around him. Glen survived polio and a logging accident. Both of these occurrences helped him realize the value of life and the gifts with which he had been blessed. Glen loved farming, economics and the law. He graduated in 1945 Summa Cum Laude from Utah Stated University with a degree in Economics. The following year he entered the University of Utah School of Law where he excelled and was granted the Newell Scholarship to attend Stanford Law School, where he graduated with honors in 1948. Glen met Connie June Jensen in Huntsville, Utah. They were high school sweethearts and married in 1946 and have remained dedicated, loving companions for the past 53 years. Following Stanford Law School, they settled briefly in Corona Del Mar, California. The Valley beckoned their return in 1949, where Glen worked the farm and began to establish an astonishingly successful law practice centered around Eminent Domain. Glen specialized in the representation of farmers whose land had been condemned by federal and state agencies for the building of freeways and water projects. He litigated over 500 cases in a variety of courts, including the United States Supreme Court. As Glen’s law practice evolved, the couple moved to Salt Lake City. While building a home in the Upper Avenues, Glen discovered a building stone that he desired to place on the home. The stone was not in regular production so he staked a quarry claim near Park Valley, Utah. Glen, his father-in-law and his two sons worked the quarry for over thirty years sending thousands of tons of this beautiful stone around the world. This experience led to service in the Building Stone Institute where Glen served as President. His fascination with stone work led to a unique view of archaeology, particularly the use of building stone by the Mayan and southwest Native American cultures. Glen published three books that presented well-founded theories on how these peoples used building stone. Glen was an aviator. He owned and extensively used two Cessna aircraft (72Bravo/69Gulf) in his profession as an attorney, a quarryman and archaeologist. No less than dozen flights were made to the Mexican west coast, its interior and the Yucatan, as well as Guatemala and Honduras as he researched archaeological theory. Concurrently, Glen also served for several years as corporate general counsel for Portland Cement Company where he successfully managed its sale to Lone Star Cement in the early 80’s. Glen basically made a bunch of farmers and friends very rich! He established the Fuller Foundation, which granted over 400 college scholarships to outstanding high school seniors throughout the state of Utah. After “retirement”, Glen spent his summers at Lake Creek, a 100 plus acre tract of beautiful wooded mountain land east of Heber City. Glen loved to watch the moose, deer and elk come to the lake to cool off and enjoy the salt lick. Just above the shore of the lake he recently completed the perfect cabin complete with running water and electricity. This is where his family will remember that he received the most joy, from God’s natural surroundings. Glen is survived by his wife, Connie; four children, Kate and Greg Wacker, Kim Fuller, Kent and Chris Fuller, Kelly and Buzz Welch; ten grandchildren; and siblings, Betty Lund, Evelyn Hess, Mark Fuller, and Lloyd Fuller. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Jack. The family wishes to thank the caring professionals at LDS Hospital who provided the highest level of care, which allowed Glen to pass with dignity. Entombment Garner Mausoleum, 1001 11th Avenue.
