OGMA Newsletter – June 2022
Our deepest condolences to the Fulton family on the passing of their patriarch, Fredrick Joseph Fulton, who passed peacefully at home May 16 at the age of 89. Fred Sr. was a true gentleman and innovator in the glass and metal industry who founded Sealite Glass, Fulton Industries and was a major contributor to national quality standards (IGMAC) and industry organizations. Fred received the prestigious OGMA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000. Fred Sr. was a man of many talents outside of work who enjoyed golf, playing the piano, singing, and who always enjoyed the company of his many friends. A true family man, Fred is survived by his wife Linda Taras-Fulton, his five sons Frank, Jim, Fred Jr., Bob, and John, and his only daughter, Cecilia.
