Douglas M. Lechler, 59, of South Williamsport, passed away unexpectedly Monday, Dec. 21 at UPMC Williamsport. Surviving is his loving wife of 28 years, Karen (Miller) Lechler.
Born March 3, 1961 in Williamsport, he was a son of the late Walter R. III and Margaret (Nevius) Lechler.
Doug was employed by the City of Williamsport, River Valley Transit as a diesel mechanic for 31 years. He was a skilled mechanic who could turn wrenches with the best of the best. His mechanical knowledge and diesel skills were truly impressive.
Doug was a quiet, laid back man but certainly could share a few choice words when the time called for it. His old school ways made him willing and able to lend a hand to whoever needed help fixing something. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and making his own fishing rods.
