Bill was my cousin, so I knew him well when we were children. Recently, we got in touch again and had lunch together. Had a great time talking over old times. Bill always liked to laugh and we both did alot that day. I miss knowing he is not in my world anymore. We all loved him - as especially did his sisters, Audrey and Jean.

I can't imagine what made me read your fathers obituary tonight. I read it and now I know...my father was an Engineer on the Union RR and I am pretty sure that your fathers name was in one of my fathers time books as a crew member.
I am very sorry for your loss. My father (Robert J Fleming 78 yrs) just passed away on 12/26/04.
Hopefully they are talking about the Railroad as my father had 40 yrs on the R.R. too.My grandfather also was an Engineer (Harry E. Fleming) on the Union RR too.
You will be in my prayers.
