  1. Tijana MilosevicI have never met Dr. Fuller in person, but I had the good fortune to come across his Dignity-related work years ago. I have been referring to it and building upon it in my own academic work ever since. I am deeply grateful for his thought leadership and his existence. I am so sorry I never had the honor to meet him in person. I send my condolences to the family, relatives and friends, and thanks so much for sharing the memories of his wonderful and truly accomplished existence. Warmly, Tijana19th July, 2025

  5. L James JohnsonBob had a rare gift: he could distill the most complex personal or global dynamics into a few words that landed with such truth and clarity. His insights always left me seeing more deeply and more honestly. Bob, you saw past status to soul...may that vision carry you forward.16th July, 2025
