Dr. Fleming J. Mosely III

"There are some who bring
a light
so great to the world
That even after they have gone
The light remains."
Such a kind and gentle man.
His spirit will live on in the lives of ALL those lives he touched.
So sorry for your loss.

What a truly wonderful man. He inspired me as a young student and football player at Hawthorne. He truly cared about us as students and athletes. He would always lend a helping hand coaching us when we were in high school.
Unfortunately I just found out of his passing from a close friend. My condolences to his family.
He certainly made me a better person....

He left an amazing legacy and Im sure he impacted every single one of his South Lorain students some time during their education.. I know you guys are proud to read all these amazing things about him.. Thank You so much for sharing him with us... ❤ - a South Lorain Kid

I just wanted to say, that Dr. Fleming J. Mosley will be sadly missed, because he was my Principal when I was in Elementary School at Lincoln years ago. He spoke five different languages and it was so impressive how he always communicated with his students in all those different languages especially Spanish. I was also his Nurse when he was a patient at Mercy Hospital in Lorain when he fractured his hip. It was a pleasure to be able to talk with him about when I was a student and he commended me for my accomplishment in my nursing career. It was also a pleasure being able to care for him in a compassionate way of keeping him comfortable and pain free.. I also had the pleasure of meeting his beautiful wife..R.I.H. Mr. Mosley !!!!

RIP Dr.Mosely

Fleming accomplished so much in his life and yet he was such a humble person. He had a quick wit and had so many stories to tell. I remember the first time I played basketball with him I thought he would drive and try to bull me over. But he played as he lived and was such a gentleman.

Fleming's passing is a big loss to all who knew him and especially to you, Emily, and his family. But he left such a big legacy in all that he accomplished and none more then three children you two raised.

My deepest sympathy goes out to you, Emily, and to Chris, Connie, and Fleming Jr. such a wonderful and great family! Emily I still remember the bear you gave my family, Cinnamon, under the disguise of a dog....smile... And the joy it was having Fleming Jr. in my classroom.

To the Mosely Family,
We will cherish the memory of Dr. Mosely as a man of integrity, humor, compassion, and joy. He blessed all he knew.

Our prayers and condolences go out to the family. He was a wonderful man! God bless you all. from Maria Lopez Morsher and sons, Angel, Victor, Carlos and Hector.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Mr. Mosely was respected (and sometimes feared) by so many of us; he was tough, he didn't play, but he was fair, and he'd go the extra mile for you if you were playing it straight, and trying to make something of yourself. If I learned nothing else from him, I learned to take responsibility for my own actions, and not play the "victim" card.
I thank him for being a teacher, a mentor, a heavy tread that stopped a lot of nonsense.
Godspeed, sir.

So sorry to hear of Mr Moselys passing. He was a very nice man and certainly a lovely gentleman in the years I knew him and associated with him (60-70's). Condolences send
to family.

Our condolences to the Mosely family, Dr. Mosely seems to have had an awesome life---professionally, athletically, community based, and family orientated. I had the pleasure of working with him at Lincoln School. Most importantly , he raised great kids. He certainly has earned the title of "Legend" !

My condolences...

Dr. Mosely was my substitute teacher in second grade. I can still remember him coming into the classroom and singing Dr. Mosely in the Mickey Mouse tune while writing his name on the chalkboard. He had all of us sitting quietly and paying attention, unlike most subs. I had him again in high school and was so happy to see him. He was an amazing, gifted man and has left and impression among all of his students I'm sure, among everyone else in his life. Gone but never forgotten. My condolences to his loved ones.

My deepest condolences to Mr. Mosely's entire family. What a journey his life must have been to have touched the lives of so many. I will always remember him as a genuine, wonderful and cool man. Thank you for the sacrifices all of you made because he was so involved with his student's and community. Best Principle ever. God Bless

I worked for Dr. Mosely for several years. He always took the time to praise my children for doing the best they could. Of course I remember the fun staff parties at the Mosely home too. Rest In Peace friend

Heartfelt condolences to the family of Mr Fleming Mosley, I remember mr. Mosley when you was my sixth grade teacher at Hawthorne Boone School job well done rest in Heavenly peace

Our condolences to Dr. Mosely’s family. I will always remember Dr. Mosely as a happy person. I was his last secretary until he retired and he was one of my best supervisors at Lincoln Elementary School. I will never forget when he used to walk through my house at Clinton Avenue and say “how is the Flecha Family doing”. Dr. Mosely, wife and children will always be in our hearts. Family Mosely you are always in my prayers.
Regards, Alejandra Flecha & Family

I had the honor of knowing Dr. Moseley professionally. He was a great man and a great mentor. He will be sorely missed.

Dr. Mosely was the most wonderful person you could ever hope to meet, I’m so happy I had the honor to know him while I attended Lincoln Elementary School. He was also the best boss my mom ever had. Dr.Mosely, you will never be forgotten, may you Rest In Peace ❣

My condolences to Dr. Moseley’s wife and family. My first and last impression of Dr. Mosley: He was bigger than life and a reflection of a good honest man. From the eyes of a kindergarten to the eyes of a newly graduated law-school student, he always showed his encouragement and support. My mom had an amazing boss and friend. I had an amazing principal, teacher, cheerleader. Our family was blessed to know him.

My deepest condolences to the Mosely family. I have known Mr. Mosely since I attended Lincoln Elementary. He was a great family friend. He was kind, caring and humble. He would pass by my house and wave hello every time he walked his dog until a few years ago. You will be missed, Mr. Mosely

I am very sorry to hear about your loss; Emily, Chris, Connie, and Fleming. Your husband/dad was very helpful during my early years of teaching. He was funny and inspiring. He will be missed in the world of education.

Our condolences to the Mosely family, Emily, Christopher, Connie and Fleming Jr. He was a wonderful friend and mentor. Through his kind words and sharing his thoughts of education he was a wonderful friend who embraced what education is. We have many fond memories of this true educator, who was a pillar to the families of South Lorain and the staffs he guided through his years as an administrator. You taught us well...thank you our friend.

Sending my deepest condolences. Mr. Mosely was a wonderful person/teacher who I had the pleasure of meeting many years ago as a student.
