JoEtte, Veronica, Eric and Sam, Carey and I are thinking of you all during this time. Our heart goes out to you and your family. Mr. Fletcher was such a nice man to me and always went out of his way to say hello when I came to visit! I will miss him.
Our sincere sympathy for your loss. I remember Gary during the 1950s playing outside Mommom’s. Our families used to go fishing and crabbing together. I believe Gary was playing the guitar back then. I have fond memories of our childhood. God bless his family. Paul & Marilyn Sedelmeyer
Although I never had the opportunity to meet Gary Fletcher, I would like to express my most heartfelt condolences to the entire family. I have known Sam for a number of years now and if you can measure a man by how great his children are, I know that he was a truly fantastic person. Please know that I’ll have you all in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Jake
Our thoughts are with the family. Life took us in different directions, he was a good running buddy, a faithful friend and an blessing to our country.
