Mr. John and Pat Fletcher enjoyed coming into the restaurant(Gennaro's ) where I have been a server since 2008. I looked forward to my 5:00 table on Saturday nights and I am blessed to have known him and to know Miss Pat. We talked about life,shared the same beliefs and prayed with me after I lost my mom. John also had his nephew (visiting at the time) take the time to advise me on family antiques and their worth. They both came by my family home in West Ashley. I saw him 3 weeks ago at work and I am beyond grateful to have seen him again. I love him and Miss Pat. He will be missed.

I was Richard's cousin, (I know it was John to his close friends). His dad was my uncle. He was a great man of the Lord. So glad I got a chance see him again at our family reunion a couple of years ago. We'll certainly miss you, but we know where to find you. Love Tim
