Peter FLEMING Obituary

On January 21, 2019 this world lost a dear, gentle soul. Born the 10th of ten children on St. Paul's West Side, Pete's Irish wit and love of music were his birthright. After faithfully serving many years as a priest he met and married Carole Murnane, the love of his life. Their family grew to include Jerry (Pam), Ken (Lisa) and Michelle (Aaron) and grandchildren Alexis, Olivia, Tristan, Zach and Grace. They, Carole, his sister Pat Barry, and a host of nieces, nephews and their descendants survive him. A Twins and Vikings fan, Pete played the guitar, sang, charmed and tap danced his way into the hearts of everyone who crossed his path. He and Carole volunteered regularly at Peace House, sharing their time with people experiencing homelessness. In his later years Pete expressed his desire to continue to "walk with God;" he did and he is. He will be sorely missed. Visitation at O'Halloran and Murphy Funeral Home, 575 S. Snelling Ave, St. Paul, from 3:00-6:00PM, Sunday, January 27, prayer service at 4:30PM. Funeral at Lumen Christi Catholic Community, 2055 Bohland Ave, St Paul, January 28, at 10:00AM, visitation beginning at 9AM. Memorials preferred to Peace House at www.peacehousecommunity.org. 651-698-0796

Pete came to my dance studio right after his retirement. He said I want to learn how to tap dance !!! And tap dance he did !! He was an audience favorite and everyone waited for his performance. I will always remember him for his upbeat personality and his humor !! Pete I am so sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye !! God Bless and rest in Peace , my friend

Pete and Carol are dear old friends of ours. We have wonderful memories of both of them at the cabin and at each other's home sharing meals and laughter. We love Pete very much and are sad to say goodbye to such a sweet friend.

Peter was a patient of mine at the dental office. A total ray of sunshine in our day. We even were lucky enough to have him sing/dance for one of the docs on their bday. Prayers to the family'. He ALWAYS spoke fondly of you all.

Whoever authored the obituary was correct. Peter WAS a gentle, sweet man. Molly and I were proud to have Peter, Carole and family as friends. They are exceptional people. We missed Peter at his brother Marty's wake, but visited him later at the Alton Residence. Lots of happy times at their lake home and Edgecumbe Place. We are a small part of the many mourners who will miss Peter.

He taught me how to tie a Windsor knot. I was proud to consider him a friend. I last saw him and Carole at Carondelet House, both very happy and full of faith.
