Read More	Francis Sylvester Flerchinger joined his wife, Susie, in heaven just in time to celebrate their 62nd anniversary together. Francis was born Aug. 12, 1918, at the family farm in Peola to Edward Nicholas and Emma Josephine Wolf Flerchinger. He received the sacraments of baptism at Sacred Heart Church in Peola and first holy communion and confirmation at Holy Family Church in Clarkston. He attended school at Peola and Pomeroy through his sophomore year. As was customary of the time, he left school to work various jobs with farmers in the area to help support the family. With the onset of World War II, he was drafted into the U.S. Army and served from February 1941 until June 1945. Thirty-eight months from April 1942 until June 1945 were spent in the Pacific theater. During his service, he obtained the ranking of sergeant and received the Good Conduct Medal, American Defense Service Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Service Medal, the Philippine Liberation Medal and a Bronze Service Star. After the war, he returned to Garfield County and his roots working for area farmers. From 1952 until 1956, he worked for Carl Dixon. He then worked at Lewiston Grange Supply as a diesel mechanic, where he took pride in the fact he drove and repaired the first self-propelled, self-leveling combine in the area, a Massey-Harris. He returned to the Mayview, Wash., area in 1960 to farm for Marion Bye after her husband Vern's death. During this time, the Bye farm received Soil Conservation Farm of the Year because of the implementation of strip cropping for erosion control. He worked for the Byes until Gary took over the farm in 1978. He then worked at Dye's Seed Ranch and McKiernan's Hardware as a diesel mechanic until he retired in 1980. On Sept. 6, 1952, he entered into the sacrament of marriage with Susie Aimee Wade Start at Holy Family Church in Clarkston. He embraced her son Stephen Lewis Start and daughter Catherine Sue Start as his own, and they were joined by Richard Edward in 1953 and Carolyn Annette in 1964. After macular degeneration affected his sight in 2006, he lived at Garfield County Long Term Care. In 2013, with his health declining, he moved to Colonial Vista Long Term Care in Wenatchee to be near his daughter Carolyn and family. He enjoyed hunting and fishing. He got great pleasure out of cooking, especially the Thanksgiving turkey. He was always happy to participate in a good-spirited debate. He was well-known for his joy of singing and bursting into song. Children held a special place in his heart, and none more so than his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, Susie; and son, Rick; as well as his parents; three brothers; and three sisters. Lewiston Tribune September 9, 2014
