On a good day, I'd have sufficient funds to finance a glass of beer from the lounge of Belcrest Apartments across from WSU's music school which is where he sometimes would be in the evening. RIP Mr. Fuller.

Last night I looked at his enormous discography on allmusic.com. What a legacy!

It's sad to hear this news. Curtis was an outstanding musician. As I recall he and Yusef Lateef attended Wayne State at the same time. Rest in peace, Curtis and thank you for the great music.
