The couple returned to Colorado, where Fletcher became involved with the family real estate holdings. In 1976, the couple returned to California and made their home in Del Mar. Since returning to the San Diego area, Fletcher has been very active in the planning and development of North County.
Fletcher was a very active individual. His very favorite activity was surfing. He also enjoyed golf, fishing and hunting, and had a strong passion for music. He also was active in different organizations in the community.
Fletcher is survived by his wife, Jacqueline; three daughters, Ellie, Zephyr and Molly; his mother, Claire M. Fletcher; and three brothers, Eugene Jr, David and Grant Fletchег.
