Celebrating My Father's Life with Tom Fuller

On this episode of the SoulScape Celebrations podcast, host Paul – D. Lowe, International Celebrant –talks to Tom Fuller about their and our father’s lives. KEY TAKEAWAYS I was a very lucky child and a lucky man. I feel blessed when I listen to others that didn’t have the upbringing that I did. Not that I’d say it was the best ever, but I’m certainly grateful for my Dad, Anthony (Tony), bringing me up the way he did. I try to do the best I can from what Dad taught me, the Ps and Qs, it doesn’t cost anything to say thank you, be respectful to people. You can also look at some of the things you didn’t agree with and decide not to go down that road. Not everything that comes out of their mouth is 100% correct. When Dad passed, I wanted to give him a really good send off with a celebration of his life, passions and personality. As a customer painter I had a unique opportunity to design and paint his coffin. It was one of the most emotional days of my life, but one of the most rewarding as well. BEST MOMENTS ‘Dad’s love was just as powerful as Mum’s.’ ‘Being a teenager you’re trying to find your feet, but 99% of the time when I look back at it I realise he was right. But that means that 10% of the time I was right.’ ‘You can’t choose your family, I know some people who get on with other people’s families more than their own. There’s no rules.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Tom Fuller’s career started way back in the late 80's when fluorescent colours ruled and mullets were in fashion.
