After graduating from high school, Richard spent much of his professional career as a pipefitter for the Local 520. Richard worked at many of the large power plants on the east coast such as Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Limerick Generating Station and Three Mile Island
In his spare time, he enjoyed the outdoors, playing tennis, recreational volleyball, reading books and the New York Times Newspaper. Richard was a staunch fan of Penn State and Manheim Township athletic associations.
Richard is survived by a daughter, Doreen M. Fulmer (wife of Paul). Also surviving are sisters Judy Fulmer Madewell, Mary Ellen Fulmer Hoefler, Elsie Weaver, and brothers Walter Fulmer, and Harold Fulmer. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother Jim Fulmer.

Doreen, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. Several years ago we drove through the old neighborhood and stopped by to talk to him. He still remembered me and our family. Love and prayers for healing.
