Mr. Fleming, thank you for enriching and protecting our childhood. You are one of the good guys. Every kid should be as lucky as we were to know you, respect you, and attend Navajo Elementary (1963 – 1971). My brothers and I have many, many fond memories of our elementary school education. Thank you! God bless you! Job well done. The Rich Family – Scott, Nancy, David and Hank.

Ed was the best principal I had ever had. Once in a while I would get in trouble in class just so that I could be sent to his office & hang out with him. I loved him & will miss him very much. My thoughts & prayers are with the family during this very tough time.

Being a good friend of his son Joseph, I have heard wonderful stories of this dear man. He was an honorable man, just like my dad and I mourn with his family for their loss. I am grateful to know one of his children as my friend.
