For gramp’s birthday we wanted to write a little piece on his life and include a few pictures.
Grandpa Daniel Robert Fulton was born in August 29, 1924 in Grand Rapids Michigan. He married grandma or Barbara Cleve on June 15th 1946 at Belden Baptist Church in Chicago Illinois and were married for 57 years. They were a great testimony in trusting in the Lord for all things and serving each other under divine principles. Both grandpa and gram are great examples to their children and grandchildren and have considerable impact in their lives. While gram is in heaven now, she leaves a wonderful heritage impact on us all while grandpa continues a personal impact.

He joined the Air Force in 1944. After serving in Europe as a co-pilot of the World War II B-26 Bomber for the Ninth Air Force, he graduated from Northwestern University Technological Institute with a Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering.
Gramp has always been a hard worker (he still mows his own lawn and shovels the snow off his driveway!). He made sure he provided for his family and allowed gram to stay home with the three children.
His career includes:

His career includes:
- 20 years at Roots Connersville Blower Division of Dresser Industries, Connersville IN
- 2 1/2 years at George M Hill & Assoc, Oxford OH

Highlighting his wonderful accomplishments is fun for us and gives us hope and direction. However, we understand the driving power behind his life is his spiritual life to which he nurtures to this day with steady feeding on the Word of God and applying it in his life. Very often I thank the Lord for our grandparents and our entire family in general for the wonderful opportunities and accommodations that we have had to make the right choices and follow good examples within our family. I also specifically thank Him for letting us enjoy our grandfather for this amount of time and for the things the He teaches us about life through this man.
With love and respect,
