The news just reached me that Cliff Fletcher passed away. To me Cliff was one of the most honest and humble leader I have ever met. Yet he knew exactly what it took to be a Winner. RIP Cliff, you will always be in my memory.
Heartbroken to hear of the passing of Cliff Fletcher.
No one in the game was more giving and kind to a young producer than Cliff. We all moved to Calgary in 1980 to put the Flames on the ice, and on the air. He believed in me, trusted me and confided in me.
As a hockey executive, Cliff Fletcher was iconic. An influencer. His work with the Flames and the Maple Leafs made lasting impressions on both franchises.
As a person, he was even better. Kind and Giving.
He was generous with his time, and words of wisdom.
His door was always open.
To Linda, Chuck, Kristy…Just know how much he meant to so many.
They don’t make them like George Clifford Fletcher anymore.
