Mr. Fleming made the best chili. He was a larger than life personality and made everything memorable. A standout is our joint family trips to Detroit's St. Patrick's Day Parade.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rain falls soft upon your field and
until we meet again,
may Go hold you in the palm of His hand.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Fleming clan. Peace be with all of you.

Jack was a terrific friend with a great sense of South Side Irish humor. Jack did not suffer fools well.
As a long time Member of Morris Park Country Club in South Bend, Indiana he loved to play golf with his buddies.
Jack´s love for his family was most important. He would talk about his kids as "My Guys."
Jack will forever be remember as as a dear friend to all who knew him.
May he rest in peace.
From one of his "Golf Guys.

Mary, our thoughts are with and your family. God Bless.
