Horace W. Fleming Jr.

Dear Steve,
Memorials have been made to the Cancer Association of Anderson, a nonprofit that assist cancer patients in Anderson County, SC, by Dr. Fleming's friends Holley Ulbrich and Cynthia Prescott. I am the executive director there. My father is Bruce Yandle, who was also a colleague of Horace's at Clemson. I would like to add my condolences, too.

I'm sorry to the Fleming family as I talked to him 4 years ago as I was working in Macon as an engineer. He was my Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity advisor at Clemson in late 1970's. he had great honor, insight, compassion, intution, & inteligence. The world is a better place due to Dr. Horace Fleming. I pray for his family. DEE HUNTER, P.E.

Dear Steve, Susan, and Patrick

I met Horace when I was at the University of the Pacific. He brought me to Mercer. He had a tremedous impact on my life, and I will always be grateful for the opportunity he gave me to serve Mercer's adult learners.

I first met Dr. Fleming when he worked for Clemson at the Strom Thurmond Institute and later when he worked in Washington. He was beyond any doubt one of the finest people I have ever met.

I was shocked this morning to read of Horace's passing. He was a kind person and a real gentleman and he will be greatly missed by all of us who had the privilege to know him.

Steve, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God Bless!

I, too, am fortunate to have been a student in a course taught by Dr. Fleming. He is a true professional educator. I am honored to have been in his classroom at USC. Dr. Fleming gave good feedback, listened carefully, and taught from the heart.
I offer sincere sympathy to his family. I will remember him and his family in my prayers. Dr. Fleming was so proud of his children and spoke of their experiences in his class. May God bless each of you as you reflect on your memories and...

I am deeply saddened to learn of Dr. Fleming's passing. There are people in your life that you do not forget, and Dr. Fleming is one of those people. He was a true gentleman. It was a privilege to have worked with him at University of the Pacific.

My heartfelt prayers go out to his family, Steve, Susan and Patrick - please always know that I hold a special place in my heart for Horace. May God's Blessings be with you now and always.

To the Fleming Family:
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My son graduated from Mercer in May 2008. During his years at Mercer, Dr. Fleming's door was always open, for both parents and students, if there were any issues or questions. Our prayers and sympathy are with you during this difficult time.
