Harold Fletcher Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 15, 2018.

Harold George Fletcher, Sr., 93, of Greenwich, CT passed away peacefully in RegalCare at Greenwich on Saturday, January 13, 2018. Born November 3, 1924 to Harold and Louise Fletcher, both deceased, he was eldest brother to Donald of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware (deceased) and Wallace of Vashon Island, Washington.
A 1942 graduate of Greenwich High School, he served his class as Reunion Chairman and MC, and then proudly served his nation for three years as a Glider and Parachutist for the 82nd Airborne. Harold worked in tile sales, owning the Unique Tiles store in Old Greenwich, and was an early pioneer of importing Italian tile to the United States. His extensive lifetime volunteering began at the age of 10, singing in the boys choir at Christ Church of Greenwich. He continued to be devoted to Christ Church, serving as a lay reader, working with the St. Stephen's Ministry, singing with "Celebration" music group and was an active founder of Camp Seaberry Summer camp. An avid reader, Harold was a wonderful storyteller, singer, painter and sculptor, and loved swimming, opera and animals, especially his family of dogs.
He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Gail Mead Fletcher, children Claudia (Joseph) DeVita, Harold (Laurie) Fletcher, Allyson (Peter) Halm, Tracey (John) McGuiness, Joel Fletcher, Carrie (Christopher) Normington, Jabez (Nicole) Huppunen, six nephews and nieces and twelve grandchildren.

Wally, my heart goes out to you and your Big Brother's family and loved ones. I lost mine back in 1975, shortly after he had turned 48. He was only the 12th person in the world to have caught a very rare form of flu; hospital MD's misdiagnosed, and he was gone on the 3rd day! It still hurts a lot! He was 6 1/2 years older. So, feel blessed and thankful for the many years you had with Harold--every minute of it! When I just saw his Obituary picture and the last name, I first thought it might be you. The resemblance was striking, even though I haven't seen you since we Graduated G.H.S. on Friday, the 13th of June, 1952, on stage at the Pickwick Theater! How can we ever forget???

Again, please accept my heartfelt condolences to you and your family, and to your Big Brother Harold's family, and loved ones!
