In Memory of Bob Fletcher

It is with profound sadness that UMHEF announces the passing of Robert R. Fletcher on September 7, 2025.

Bob served thirteen years as President & CEO of the foundation, retiring in the summer of 2024 before recently returning for an interim period to assist us through a leadership transition. Our deepest condolences go out to Bob’s family, friends, and the communities which he faithfully served.
