My wife just forwarded this to me. It came from the Dean of Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, VA.
It is with deep sorrow that I write to let you know of the death of the Reverend Dr. Reginald Fuller, Professor Emeritus of New Testament at VTS and world-renowned scholar and teacher. Dr. Fuller died on April 4th in Richmond, following a fall last week (on the day after his 92nd birthday) and from complications following surgery for a broken hip.

I had the great good fortune to take a course in the New Testament with Reg some few years ago and it was one of the MOST enjoyable and challenging courses that I have ever taken. Georgia and I stopped to visit with Reg and his wife, Ilse, in Richmond last month on our way back up from the living history weekend at Jamestown. I am so very glad to have had the opportunity to see him one more time. Georgia and I will miss him and his love and his extremely dry British sense of humor.
 
As a sidelight, Reg did the first translations of Dietrich Bonhoeffer into English. For further information on Bonhoeffer and his importance, may I refer you to the following site for a special exhibit at the US Holocaust Museum in Wshington, DC:

Requiescat in pace! It looks like he had a long, full life, to be remembered with such pleasure.

The things we do for ourselves die with us; the things we do for others live on in their memories.
