James J. Fetcho, 85, of Meriden, passed away on December 29, 2025, at the Jerome Home in New Britain following a long illness. He was born in Scranton, PA on November 21, 1940, a son of the late Joseph and Ida (Polidori) Fetcho. James honorably served in the United States Army Reserves. He graduated from Bullard-Havens Technical High School in Bridgeport and worked in the printing industry for many years. He then went on to work as Maintenance Administrator for AT&T until his retirement.

James is survived by his brother Joseph of Milford, granddaughters Marla, Nora, and Ava of Stratford, and Dana, Ashley and Lindsay of Oregon. In addition to his parents, James was pre-deceased by his sons James Fetcho Jr. and Robert Fetcho.

Services will be held at a later date at the convenience of his family.

Jim was a member of the Humanist Association of Connecticut for about 20 years.
We met in Hamden. In addition to our monthly meetings, he actively participated in our Book Group discussions. After being unable to reach him last month, we searched for and found this obituary. We do hope the family will notify us when a memorial service is scheduled so that some of us can attend.
