Sincere condolences to the family,during your time of grief and sorrow.May God's loving kindness comfort you and help you through this difficult time. Psm 119:50

We are sorry to learn of the passing of Harold, but are grateful for his service to our nation as a Peace Corps Staff Member and Peace Corps Volunteer in Cote D'Ivoire.

Our Condolences,

The National Peace Corps Association

Hal was the Peace Corps Country Director in Cote d'Ivoire during my first year of service as a PC volunteer. I did not get to know him well (as there were 100+ vols in the country, I believe), but have memories of Hal has an able Country Director. Hal and his wife were very kind and gracious hosts to us "new kids on the block." I am very glad and proud to see that he held so many more illustrious positions in his post-PC career.

My condolences. I was his volunteer secretary in Abidjan in 1970 - he was a great boss and a fine person. Thelma Freedman, Hamburg, Germany

May the God of all comfort bring you peace at this time of loss. "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more."

While I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Fleming, I learned much about him from my longtime friend Fred Routh, who worked for him at the Equal Employment Opporunity Commission. Fred said that Mr. Fleming was not only a mentor but a hero to him and he valued very much his time there. No doubt one of many who could say the same thing.
