I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT MR FECHTER. BUT ONE THING IS THAT HE IS WITH HIS BERLY NOW. I TOOK CARE OF HER AT THE PRES. MANOR. HE WAS A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND TO ME WHEN HE CAME INTO SEE BERYL. HE WAS SURE FAITHFUL AND CONCERNED ABOUT HER. GOD BLESS HIM
I remember you were friendly, funny and a great uncle to us 12 kids. You where just like my dad, Roy Fechter and ill remember you always. -Judy Zmaila
I will remember Uncle Harold as a fun loving person. He enjoyed cigars. And he took great pleasure in maintaining and riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. More than anything, I'll remember how he liked to read. He thoughtfully dropped by our house many Saturday afternoons and took myself and my brothers and sisters, who wanted to go, with him to the Lewis and Clark Library so we could choose books to read too. For many years, my parents invited Uncle Harold and Aunt Beryl to share the Thanksgiving meal with our family. I will miss him dearly.
Uncle Hally was definitely the comedian among the three brothers. I'll never forget the time he went down to National to get a watermelon. He put it in basket in the back of the Harley and apparently it bounced around quite a bit so that the watermelon was in many pieces by the time he got it home.
