James FLETCHER

FLETCHER, James (Jim)
Passed away peacefully, on August 23, 2014, at the Pasqua Palliative Care Unit from complications following several strokes. Many thanks go out to the doctors and nurses at the General and Pasqua Hospitals for their care and attention. Jim was born in Regina on May 2, 1932 and received his schooling in Regina. He worked for SaskTel from 1951 to 1986 with 35 years of service. Jim was a quiet man with many hobbies that he was very active in - canoeing, cross country skiing, fishing, hunting, model airplanes, daily workouts at the YMCA and a love for Jazz music. The family spent many summers at the cottage at Saskatchewan Beach. He had a core group of friends that got together often. Jim was very dedicated to the SaskTel Pioneers Computers for Schools/Salvage program in Regina. He was known as "The Laptop Guru," volunteering every Tuesday and Thursday since retirement. Jim was predeceased by his parents Bill and Mary Fletcher; brothers Roy and Ken, niece Deborah Fletcher as well as many from Mike's side of the family. He leaves behind his loving wife Michele (Mike) of 60 years (married August 29, 1953); his sons Dale of Regina and Kent (Diana) of Calgary and his loving granddaughter Angela (Arthur) of Vancouver, plus many sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Jim's Life will be held for family and friends at the Broken Rack Billiards, 3806 Albert Street, Regina (at the South end of the Golden Mile) from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, August 29, 2014. The family respectfully wishes that, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan. Arrangements entrusted to:
