George J. Fletcher, age 60, of Pennsville, NJ passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 8, 2017. Born in Pennsville, NJ on July 28, 1957, he was the son of George and the late Marlene Fletcher. George was a graduate of Pennsville High School, class of 1975, and worked at Siegfried USA Inc., as a mechanic for 24 years. George was a loving father, son, and sibling.

He also enjoyed time with his kids and extended family and was widely known for his blunt humor and love of football. He was preceded in death by his two beautiful children, Brittana and Georgie Fletcher. He is survived by his father, George P. Fletcher of Pennsville, NJ; sister, Dawn Gagliardi and husband Dr. John Gagliardi of Pilesgrove, NJ; granddaughter, Brooklynne Whatley of Winnie, TX; nephew, Dr. Jonanthony Gagliardi of Chicago, IL; nieces, Victoria Gagliardi of New York, NY; Taylor Gagliardi of Orlando, FL; and Logan Gagliardi of Montclair, NJ; and extended family.
