Greetings my brothers and sisters,

Sadly we lost a great friend and fellow American Legion Rider from post #26 in Bakersfield and PGR member David Lawrence Fletcher aka "Fletch". His sudden passing was a shock to all and he will be greatly missed.I have no military information or personal information.

Services for Uncle David Lawrence Fletcher will be held at Bakersfield National Cemetery in Arvin at 2:00 pm on Tuesday January 21st. A Celebration of Life will follow at the American Legion, Post 26 Hall in Bakersfield. There will be a a procession from Mission Family Mortuary to the National Cemetery. Please arrive by 12:45pm at Mission for the procession or by 1:45pm at the Cemetery. This is a military service and promptness is appreciated.
