Alice, Karen and Family
Uncle Ben was quite a unique person. He was a very strong will, intelligent, talented and outgoing person. I am sure this led to a fulfilling career and active lifestyle for him. I know he loved his family and wanted us all to do well and excel. He was definitely a leader. He will be missed.
Our prayers and love are with you all. God Bless!

I offer my deepest condolences & prayers to the family of Chief Ben Fletcher (Retired) USN & to his daughter Karen, my dear friend.
Fletcher served this country Honorably, as I recall his arrival to USNS Wash DC in the late 60s.
When "The Chief was on board, all was brought to order"~a customary slogan "across the water" (USNS). May he rest in Eternal Peace.
