Edward Harold Flemings, known affectionately as Harold, was born on March 15, 1945, in DeWitt, AR. Harold was a resilient soul who found humor in the most challenging circumstances. His spirit was as robust as the diesel engines he worked on for much of his career. He had an infectious laugh that made even the most mundane moments memorable and his compassionate nature put everyone around him at ease. Harold was a great storyteller whose tales would captivate anyone fortunate enough to hear them.
Harold spent six enriching years living in Webb City, Missouri. He was a diesel mechanic by trade, working for CFI, but his real passion lay in the intricate world of model cars. He found solace in the precision and detail of creating these miniature masterpieces. Harold was also a fervent fan of the GRIT-Cowboys. Despite life's ups and downs, his humor never faded.
Most of all, Harold cherished his family: his son, Micheal, the boss-lady Amanda and his beloved grandchildren, Kadence, and Kaje. Their happiness was his greatest joy and their achievements, his proudest moments. His love for them was as vast and as deep as the ocean. Harold's love and legacy will continue to live on through them. Harold passed from this earth peacefully with his son by his side.
A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. The family invites friends and relatives to visit www.simpsonfh.com to share their photos and cherished memories of Edward. Services are under the personal care and direction of Simpson Funeral Home. In the words of novelist Leo Buscaglia: "Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other." Edward lived his life by this philosophy, and it is a testament to his enduring legacy of love, laughter, and resilience.
