The young couple wound up moving back home to Salt Lake City, where Frank, through hard work, dedication and perseverance earned his architectural license. Some of the buildings he worked on were several Smith’s Food Kings, the Tram building at Snowbird ski resort, the restoration of the Governor’s Mansion after it had caught fire, the Scott Mattheson court building, and he designed the Energy and Minerals Research Building at the University of Utah. He also served as President of the Utah American Institute of Architects.

His hobbies and interests included music and playing guitar, art and painting, animals, (especially his dogs Sammie and Mitzie), was a contributing member of The Intermountain Society of Artists, (ISA), bad dad jokes, and watching the Utah Jazz.

Although, if you listened to him watching the Jazz, you would probably think he was murdering someone, due to his language.

Frank is survived by his wife of 68 years, Lee Ann, his Daughter Wendy Davis and his son Darin (Lisa) Fuller. In addition, he leaves behind 6 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren, and 2 brothers, Max Fuller and Greg Fuller.

Frank is preceded in death by his parents, Marvin and Minnie, his 2 sisters, Karilin (Cliff) Robb and Camille Jackson. He is also preceded by children Teresa Rigby and Frank D. Fuller.
