POLICE officers farewelled one of their own yesterday with the burial of Sergeant Roger Fuller.More than 100 Ballarat and regional police attended the funeral, and lined Armstrong St in a guard of honour for Sgt Fuller who, in 30 years of work, only had one sick day.His sister Vicki told mourners of Sgt Fuller's appetite when growing up, and refusal to let a heart tremor get in the way of sport."He would like things like ice-cream, Vegemite, milk sauce and say it was a good combination because it all came out the same way," she said."Roger was told he would have a heart tremor for the rest of his life and be on tablets at least until he was 21. So he took up swimming, soon became high school champion and swimming and surfing became a way of life."Essential reading included the Trading Post, real estate guides and automotive magazines. Then came Ebay.Even as his health deteriorated in hospital he was still negotiating with contractors about his new home."In an earlier life he would have been a wheeler and dealer; he would have been a used horse and cart salesman," Vicki said."He has purchased some 31 cars, numerous houses. In the last 10 weeks he managed to sell his house, plan his new one, have Judy already buying appliances for it and was still not content."The two most important things to Sgt Fuller were his family, and then Victoria Police.On a professional level he was remembered for several high commendations and was handpicked to help find those responsible for the Walsh St police shootings when two officers were gunned down.Senior Sergeant Gary Pilmore said one example of Sgt Fuller's professionalism when dealing with difficult situations was in the form of a thank you card."(Roger) like many other members are remembered and recognised more informally throughout their careers by the people who count the most, those being the members of the community who turn to the police at the worst hour on the worst day of their lives," Sen Sgt Pilmore said.Sgt Fuller was born in Ballarat on September 10, 1954 and died July 1, 2009.He is survived by his wife Judy and children Alana, Ryan and Kirk.He was buried at the Buninyong cemetery.
