Our deepest sympathy to all the Flemings. We were so sorry to hear the news of Jim's death and also that we didn't know about it until after Thanksgiving. We certainly would have paid our respects in person, had we known. Really feel bad we missed the notice. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sincerely,

Bob and Shirley Donehey

I worked with Jim at American Can in the early 60's. I was fresh out of college and a former Marine and we shared a great relationship. Jim was a warm and caring person and I came to admire him greatly. I lost track of Jim when I left the company and moved to Georgia. He was a true gentleman.

Mrs. Fleming and Family,
Mr. Fleming was such a kind man. He was always gracious to all the visitors who came in and out of the Fleming house, and was so attentive and present to the conversation he was having with each person. We will be united with you in prayer on Wednesday as a wonderful man is honored and welcomed home.

What a blessing it was to know Jim. A true father in every sense of the word --a wonderful example of a life well lived!

Mr. Fleming,
Sir, as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USMC during the Korean War. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
