We are saddened to report that Bob Fletcher passed away Saturday, June 9 at 10:40 p.m. He passed in his sleep with the family by his side.

The family is planning a celebration of life service to be held on Saturday, June 16, in Largo, FL. There will be a motorcycle procession from the Fletcher’s south property, located at 16485 U.S. hwy 19N in Clearwater, FL to the Anona Methodist church in Largo. The procession participants should start gathering at 11:30 a.m. and will leave the south property at noon. We will ride rain or shine.

Please wear your favorite Fletcher’s H-D t-shirt in honor of Bob. It does not have to be black; any color will do as long as it is a Fletcher’s shirt. The celebration of Bob’s life will be held at the Anona Methodist Church, 13233 Indian Rocks Road in Largo, at 1:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Suncoast Hospice Foundation in Bob’s honor.
