John R Fletcher - 4/11/47-9/23/24

What can I say about my dad that you might not know.  Well, who the hell knows anybody really.  We only truly know ourselves if we are smart enough to be honest with ourselves.  Like it or not, I have a lot of my dad’s traits and mannerisms.  I’m proud of that. Dad was an amazing man. Being born from a hardworking, smart folks that had determination and wherewithal, never particularly wealthy but honest and good people. Kansans through and through.
