The fourth son of Osvald Doak Fulwyler and Esther Upton Fulwyler, Dick was born August 9, 1941, in Nampa, Idaho. He attended elementary and high schools in Vale, Oregon, where he excelled in football and made many life-long friends. He attended OSU in Corvallis for two years, then transferred to the College of Idaho in Caldwell from which he graduated in 1965 with a Bachelor’s in Education. Subsequently, in 1967 he was awarded a Master’s in Education from the University of Oregon.

While at the College of Idaho he met Virginia Montgomery and they were married Dec. 22, 1963. They had two daughters, Erin born in July 1966 and Maisie born in October 1969. During Dick’s career he was an elementary and secondary teacher, football and wrestling coach, athletic director and principal in various Oregon school districts including: Albany, Gold Beach, Crook County, Winston-Dillard and Roseburg.
