So sorry to hear of Erv's passing. He was my frat brother at Delta Theta Sigma and a roommate for a couple of semesters. I have a number of fond memories and stories from that great time. Please accept my condolences.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Flesch's passing. He was my guidance counselor at Green Bay West high school. Even though it's been awhile (I graduated in 2006), I still think of him often. He had a big impact on me and always pushed me to succeed when I didn't have very much confidence in myself. I don't think I would be where I am today if it wasn't for Mr. Flesch. He will definitely be missed.

Erv was my first real friend as we were country neighbors. We spent many hours sledding down Flesche's Hill, picking wild asparagus, making marbles from clay and playing baseball with his siblings Darlene,Dave,Dan and my sister Janet. Erv as so kind and energetic.

Our best memories....and there are many....are of Erv in Maine at Acadia Nat'l Park area on Desert Island. We all know how Erv relished his sweets. Well, he fell in love with Oh Boy, Dough Boy desserts on the island and ate during the week more than his share. These are the most decadent desserts of the highest tier! They are fried dough topped with fruit, ice cream, whipped cream.....you name it. Erv and Suzanne joined us for two splendid vacations on Desert Island. 2010 and 2016 is my recollection. I believe he had his first lobster there! And both times he climbed MT Cadillac with the group of us....adults and kids. A most beautiful climb with breathtaking scenery to the top. The sky, the earth, the sea and us. Can't ask for a better hike. Erv is our son's father in law and our dear friend. Laurel and Andre LaFlamme
