Hugh Fleischer

Sending my condolences, he was a good man. Idk he passed away. He was working on my case and idk what happened

I´ll never forget Hugh. I can see his cheerful smile and hear his uplifting voice at this very moment. Shalom

I was just reminded by the Legacy site that it is coming close to the anniversary of Hugh's death. I frequently recall him, in all sorts of contexts. When I see a person in a leadership role doing it gracefully, compassionately, considerately. When I think of balsamic vinegar, because he and Lanie and we shared a love of that condiment.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Any day is a good day to remember Hugh! Thinking of you too Lanie.

Lanie, reread these wonderful words left by all of us. It lifted my spirits and reminded me of the purpose we hold for life. So good to read again, so good to have known Hugh, so good to know you.

Much love from us both, Jay and Gene

On Thanksgiving, I've been reflecting, as most of us do. I perused the many letters of recognition and condolence, and was reassured of the truth, 'that a man does not die while his name continues to be said by others.' Hugh Fleischer has earned himself a long life.

Hugh inspired me to give back to our community. He chaired the Anchorage Library board one year when I volunteered as the co-ordinator of Friday Night Flicks, and I never saw the board get along so well nor get so much work done. He set such a good example and gently steered contentious board members in the right direction. Lanie, you and Hugh introduced me to balsamic vinegar way back when over one of his lovely tossed salads with, if I remember, lettuces from your garden. I've never used...
