Not sure what to say?

In these turbulent times, we appreciate and miss the voice and pen of Thomas Fleming more than ever.

Tom was the consummate gentleman, always more than generous with his invaluable time. Everyone learned so much from him! We continue to miss him very, very much.

Time passes, but my affection for Thomas Fleming and his craftsmanship does not fade. An inspiration to me as a teacher and a gifted writer.

The Separatists Bible :)

Dear Fleming family,

When my daughter -- now a young woman -- was around the tender age of five, I came across "One Small Candle" at a used book store. After perusing the book, I was convinced that it was a much more accurate and honorable portrayal of the Separatists' history than I had been taught in public school.

I'll never forget meeting one of my all time favorite writers and historians.

My most heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Fleming and the Fleming Family. Mr. Fleming is one of my all time favorite writers and historians. It was an unbelievable honor to eventually work with you in making The Great Divide an audiobook. On behalf of everyone whose life you touched, thank you!

However late I am overwhelmingly grateful for this work at look forward going back to all his related work. The 2015 Copyright Date indicates this may have been his last published work. It certainly looks like a capstone...

To Alice, Tom and the Fleming family my sincerest condolences. Tom was a gentleman and scholar. He generously offered his professional support and he and Alice their friendship throughout my tenure as Executive Director of the Gomez Mill House Museum and Historic Site, the second owner of which was a Revolutionary leader of Orange County New York. I enjoyed our conversations about Revolutionary history, but we spoke of so much more over the years. He was simply extraordinary.
