(October 13, 1943 - August 9, 2014)
A great man, Leslie Gene Fuller (Les), left this world on
August 9, 2014, surrounded by his loving family, after a courageous four year
battle with prostate cancer. Les was born on October 13, 1943, in Salt Lake
City, Utah to Floyd Burton and Merveen Hansen Fuller. He married Linda Okamura
on June 24, 1966. Les grew up in Holladay, Utah and attended Olympus High
School. He joined the Army during the Vietnam War and was stationed in Ft. Ord,
California. Les worked at Alta Ski Lifts for over 30 years where he developed
many of the technologies used in the ski industry today. He served several terms
as the President of the Intermountain Ski Area Association and was appointed to
the Utah State Tram Board. During his life, Les was always looking to improve
his surroundings and those with whom he associated. He loved the outdoors and
enjoyed skiing, camping, hunting, fishing, and playing golf. He taught by
example to always have compassion for others and believed that there was good in
everyone. Les’ greatest accomplishment was his family and his happiest moments
were spending time with them. We love you Dad! Survived by his wife of 48 years,
Linda; children - Gary (Gerry) Canfield, John (Teri) Fuller, Julie (Rob) Steele,
Emilie (Wes) Stahl, and Kathryn (Derek) Lowe. Grandchildren - Steven Canfield,
Sarah Stahl Davis, Lauren Canfield, Liz Fuller, Ashlee Steele, Michael Fuller,
Nick Steele, Jessica Lowe, Hailey Stahl, Tyler Stahl; mother-in-law, Angelina
Okamura, brother, Larry (Carol) Fuller, sister Marilyn Phillips, and a large
extended family. Sincere thanks to the staff at Utah Cancer Specialists, Dr.
Chandramouli, Dr. Gange, and Dr. Avizonis.
