Robert Fulton, former Lieutenant Governor and briefly Governor of Iowa

dies at the age of 94. From his obituary in the Waterloo Courier:

Bob was born in Waterloo, IA to Lester and Fern Fulton. He was preceded in death by his siblings, Dorothy Mueller, Bill Fulton and Dick Fulton. He attended East HS, UNI (then Iowa State Teachers College) and earned a law degree from the university of Iowa in 1958.

Bob was a founding member of a successful law firm in Waterloo and also pursued a career in politics as a Democrat. He was elected to the Iowa House in 1958, the Senate in 1962, and was elected Lt. Governor in 1964 and 1966. While his run for Governor in 1970 was unsuccessful, he did have the privilege and distinction to serve as the 37th Governor of Iowa even if for only two weeks, January 1-14, 1969.

Bob was most proud the role he played when as Lt. Gov. in 1965, he shepherded through the Senate the bill that ended capital punishment in Iowa. It is a legacy that endures.
