Dear Aunt Carol, Rodney and family: Please accept our heartfelt condolences. Uncle Chuck was a warm, fun and good natured guy. He was also very patient with me (Bruce) as a boy...I was not much good at baiting hooks or keeping quiet when the fish were biting, but whatever little bit I know about fishing I learned from Chuck. His memory is cherished and one day you will all be reunited. Love Bruce and Carolyn Routledge

My sincerest condolences to the entire Fletcher family. My prayers and thoughts are with you all in this time of sadness.
- Mark KuenemanI'm going to miss talking with you.
We shared the first 8 years of our lives pretty closely. You, born 3 months earlier, were like an older brother to me. We did all kinds of neat things together like pushing the tarter around at top speed, and hearing the Harvard plane crash in the field. When we started school in Norwich, remember what fun it was keeping ahead of the bullies on the way home. A good run, if the creek didn't catch our eye. I'm another who'll miss you a lot !
Thinking of you all at this very difficult time of loss especially for you carol. I hope to be there on Saturday morning. Love you very much carol. You are a wonderful friend of mine.

God bless you and may your wonderful memories of Chuck, keep him close to you.
