Obituary

Fulco died a week before his 91st birthday in a Shreveport hospital. He went into cardiac arrest while he was undergoing kidney dialysis. "He had diabetes, suffered several heart attacks. And two weeks ago, we put him in the hospital. His kidneys were failing," said Frank Fulco, Jr.

Services were held on August 23, 1999, at the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Shreveport, with Father Pike Thomas officiating. Interment was at Forest Park Cemetery. Honorary pallbearers included two former legislative colleagues, Algie Brown of Shreveport (Fulco's fellow 1928 Byrd classmate) and L.D. "Buddy" Napper of Ruston, LSUS Chancellor Vincent Marsala, and then Caddo Parish Sheriff Don Hathaway.

In addition to his wife and son Frank, Fulco was survived by son Michael J. Fulco (born 1953) and his wife, of Monroe, the seat of Ouachita Parish; six grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren, and one brother, Charles R. Fulco (1922–2003) of Shreveport.
