His wife Warene was my cousin, with Brian Lacey and Janet Lacey Hurley. My condolences to his family and friends.

A great Teacher while I did my Student Teaching at Bigelow. Condolences to the Family.

I will always remember Coach Fletcher for the lessons he taught us far beyond the game! How to work hard, stay humble and show up for others. His influence has stayed with me throughout my life. I'm grateful to be one of his students and player. He was the epitome of a coach and a man. My condolences to his family.
