Mike Fultz

Metadata

Name	Fultz, Mike
Role	Banjoist
Places of residence	Seattle, Washington/Bangkok, Thailand
Sphere Of Activity	Mike Fultz was a longtime friend, fellow Thailand Ex-Pat and Banjo Player. He passed away in August after a long battle with heart disease. Copy: Unknown author Making his home in Bangkok, Thailand for more than 20 years, his "Land of Smiles" as he always liked to say, and working for Airborn Freight, Mike left this world on Aug 18th after suffering a heart attack on Jan. 25th. Mike loved Thailand. He spoke Thai fluently and loved sharing his adopted homeland with friends and family. When I first moved to Thailand, Mike was there with helpful advice and took the time to introduce me to other ex-pats in the area. Frank Rossi said in 2008, "Mike was always the first to welcome me at the Seattle Banjo events. His visits to New York and performances at the Hofstra University Playhouse for the Banjo Spectacular Shows will always be remembered. He was a loyal member of Banjos Unlimited and a good friend." Mike knew he was living on borrowed time as he had previous bouts with heart disease. He spoke freely about his desire to be cremated at a local Wat (Temple) and have his ashes remain in Thailand. Although he loved life, he was at peace with his fate. A very Thai virtue. Many in the banjo world were not familiar with Mike due to the fact he left the United States two decades ago. He was a very skilled Plectrum Banjoist. Copy: Jim Cotton
