The North Georgia News, November 10, 1999, Blairsville, Union Co., GA:
It is with extreme sadness that the "Flesher Family" notes the death of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and family patriarch "Charles M. Flesher", 76 of Bonita Springs, FL and Blairsville, GA. Mr. Flesher expired at Hope Hospice in Ft. Myers, FL on Saturday, November 6, 1999 following a brief illness.
He gave of himself in ways that made a difference to our entire family and to the local community. He was very prominent in the community, noted mainly for "The Flesher Family Christmas Light Display" held at his home in Bonita Springs each year raising monetary donations for children that are very serious and terminally ill. He was an army veteran of World War II and awarded a Purple Heart.
Mr. Flesher was born in Akron, Ohio, March 23, 1923 a son of the late Carl and Mildred Mae (Bertshi) Flesher. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his daughter Vickie Flesher; his son, Richard Lee Flesher, his sister, Delores Stites; and his two grand daughters and grandson.
Surviving are his beloved wife of 58 years Margaret (Salsgiver) Flesher; his two son and daughters-in-law, Carl "Bud" and Theresa Flesher Sr. and Charles J. "Charlie" and Joann Flesher, all of Bonita Springs; his two daughters and sons-in-laws Sandra "Sandy," and John Marletter, of Attalla, Alabama, and Debra "Debbie" and Mike Kinnett of Blairsville, Georgia; his brother Clarence "Steve". Flesher of California, and his sister and brother-in- law Betty and Bill McCabe of Norton, Ohio. Eighteen grand children and their spouses, 37 great grandchildren, several nieces and nephews, four half-brothers and three half-sisters, all of which he loved more than they will ever know, also survive.
He will always be remembered for his undying love for anyone in need, his keen perceptions, strong will and excellent wisdom. He was of a very rare class of men. We love you, our husband, dad, grandpa and great grandpa and we will try to being our healing process. We know you are in a better place but we all will sorely miss you
