DISTRICT NEWS & INFORMATION

The CALSO has lost a page of history and a
beloved Optimist. Former CALSO Governor and International Vice President .......

                             
BOB FULLER

Just wanted to let everyone know that Bob crossed the Bar at 12:25 AM on July 16th.
He passed quietly with his Son, Daughter, Son-in-law and Wife by his side.

Information on Bob’s memorial  

Memorial to be held 3 p.m., Saturday, August 7, at Vista Optimist Club, 600 Optimist Way in Vista , CA .

 As Bob had dedicated his life to helping children through the Optimist Organization, the family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Bob’s name to either Optimist International Foundation or the Vista Optimist Foundation, P O Box 272 , Vista , CA 92083 so that a scholarship can be given every year in his memory.

 Burial at sea to be Sunday, August 8th 10:00 AM out of Oceanside harbor.

 I do not have everyone’s e-mail, so if you could please forward to all who knew Bob so that they can have the information.

 Fellow Optimists:  We request if over the years you have received a hat from Bob at those fun Mad Hatter breakfast meetings, that you bring it to the Memorial and at the end of the service as we share stories and celebrate his life you would honor him by wearing the hat that he personally selected for you.  

I wish to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers through this difficult time; they have meant so much to myself and the family.
