Clement Hadden Fullerton

Trophy Club TX – Clement Hadden Fullerton went to be with his wife, Barbara, December 31, 2020.

Clem was the only child of Robert and Diantha Fullerton. He married his high school sweetheart and they were married 70 years. They had five children, Robert Fullerton (and wife Chris), Barbara Cianflone (and husband Peter), Carol Fullerton, Susan Edstrom (and husband Dave) and Peter Fullerton (and wife Kathy). He was a devoted husband and father. He had seven grandchildren, Megan Gallager (and husband Brian), Alyssa Edstrom (fiancé Michael Pry), Matthew, Michael and Meredith Brown and Kristin and Heather Fullerton. He also had six great-grandchildren.

He was a successful business owner and an avid fly fisherman and conservationist. He spent many years rehabbing and fishing the streams in New York and Pennsylvania. He was active with Theodore Gordon Flyfisher, Trout Unlimited and FFF. He was easily spotted by friends on streams with his trademark cowboy hat. He wrote for a small paper after he retired, and he was known as the Complete Tangler. He fought many a battle to ensure the health of trout streams. The New York State Council of Trout Unlimited awarded the Fullertons the Distinguished Conservation Award for their commitment toward the preservation of New York’s cold-water fisheries resources. They did everything together and since her passing, he wished to be with her. New Year’s Eve night he was granted his wish.

Clem will be missed at family gatherings and Sunday Family dinners, a tradition he missed most of 2020. We hope he and Barbara are casting a line across a quiet stream together in Heaven. For him, that would be perfect end to a wonderful life.

A graveside service will be held at Medlin Cemetery in Trophy Club.
