With very heavy hearts we celebrate the life of Charles Gerard Fulford (Charlie) who passed peacefully away on April 12th, 2016 one day short of his 58th birthday at the Placentia Health Centre, surrounded by loved ones. Charlie was predeceased by his parents Michael and Christina Fulford; his sister Hannah; his brothers Dennis, Johnny and Gerry; his grandmother Mrs. Ellen Fulford; his uncle Din Pat; and family friend Jimmy Barrett. Leaving to mourn are his wife Cindy; his children Krystal and Adam, who were the apples of his eye; his family Jenny (Bruce), Loretta (Charles), Theresa (Don), Marianne, Leonard (Sharon), Eddie (Dianne), Ellen, Wayne (Geraldine); his nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly; his cat Spruce; and his many friends old and new, from near and far (too many to mention). Charlie lived a very quiet life, he was most comfortable at home. He loved to read and was a walking book of knowledge. He was a teacher of all things. His method was simple; he taught by example. Charlie was a well respected Journeyman Electrician who made lasting friendships with many of his co-workers. He was a very kind and generous person. His gift was electrical but his creative mind made him a genuine "Mr. Fix It," as he could fix almost anything. He took great pride in every job he did, big or small, and he was always willing to share his generous spirit by helping others in the community whenever he could. He engaged the world as a man who would be its master. We would like to extend a very special thank you to the doctors, nurses and support staff of the Placentia Health Centre for the kindness, compassion and professionalism that was shown to Charlie and his family during this extremely difficult time. We were treated as though we were a part of their families. As an expression of sympathy, we ask that in lieu of flowers memorial contributions be made to The Lions Manor Nursing Home Recreation Department. As per Charlie's request cremation has already taken place. Visitation will be held at Maher's Funeral Home on Thursday, April 14th from 7-9 pm, Friday, April 15th from 2-5 pm and 7-9 pm. A Mass of Christian Burial is to take place 11 am at Sacred Heart Church, Placentia on Saturday, April 16th.
