To the Fulner Family: As a part of the PIP family for 13 years, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Tom was truly a very generous man in more ways than one. I wish I could be there for you. He meant alot to me and I learned so much from him. He will be truly missed.
Bob Seymour says
I was so sorry to see the notice. Tom was a special guy and I enjoyed him in our Rotary Club. His assistance with our club’s newsletter made it one of the best in the USA. He will be missed!
Lee Ford says
Tom was an old client of mine as well as a fellow “gin rummy player” for many years. He will be sorely missed by the Indianapolis community. Remember that life is not measured by the number of breaths that we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. I am sure that Tom provided many of those moments to his family during his lifetime.
Lynda Campbell says
I was deeply saddened to learn about Tom’s passing. Tom gave me the opportunity to be apart of the PIP Family and allowed me to learn and grow. Tom and Marilyn were always very good to me and made me feel like I was part of their family. Tom will be missed in more ways than one. He touched so many lives and gave so many opportunities to people, he was truly a generous man. I am sorry that I wasn’t able to be there, I found out a little to late. Marilyn, I love you all and will keep you in my prayers.
Dan and Pam Tiedt says
He will be missed by all….I remember 30 years ago when we just started our PIP….We were new and he always took the time to say Hi and help us. I always thought of him as a leader and thought if he did it, that was the way I wanted to do it, because it was the right way. God Bless……..Dan Sr., Pam, Dan and Kris Tiedt

To the Fulner Family. Elieen and Guy,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. I was out of town this past week. Very sorry that I could not attend.
What a wonderful man! To raise such fine sons and daughters! He AND your Mom, were always so kind to me. I recall how close your family was back in high school days, with Guy and Elieen. Always so very loving and kind to each other… and me. May God Bless you and keep you all in His loving Hands.
