Fletcher family,
So sorry to hear about your loss. I can't think of Hood Canal without thinking of the Fletchers, so many good memories.

Where do I begin. My fondest memories were the "glory days" at Hood Canal, we would take our boat from our place down to the "Fletcher Compound" all summer long. Dear Bob was always smiling and laughing, and Ouidi was always gracious with a big smile. I and the 4 boys would usually head for the water and use their paddle boards or swim or water ski or go exploring up in the woods. It was heaven in those days, Fritz and Doris, the Hutchinson's and sometimes Wayne Hagen and his family were there. The memories were ALL the best. I guess a special one was when Bob was transferred to Texas and the summer before they moved, all summer long at the Canal, they would sing "The yellow rose of Texas" Good times!
With Love to the Fletchers,
Larry Hitchcock & family, Auburn Wa.

One of my favorite memories of Bob is how, after so many years of marriage he would refer to Ouidi as his bride. I will also never forget the first time I watched Bob mix up gin and tonics for cocktail time on hot summer evenings at the Canal. Bob would always use a glass baby bottle to measure the gin. For me, this was a sign of Bob's love for his family and the pride he felt as father to his four sons.
With love,
Jan
