Words can not express enough how wonderful Mr Fleming was or should I say (my other Dad). It was such an honor to have known him and loved him. If I wasn't at my house I was at Debbie's. He treated me like I was another daughter of his and he taught me so much about life, how to be a better person. I loved listening to his stories and he could tell some good ones. All my memories of him are happy ones. He loved deeply and gave so much of himself to everyone he met. We may have lost a wonderful man yesterday, but I know God has a wonderful Angel by his side now and he is looking down on his family and friends. God Bless you, Dad. I miss you so much, but I have you in my heart and another angel to watch over me. My deepest sympathy goes out to his immediate family, Naomi, (my other mom), my best friend ever, Debbie, her wonderful husband, Roy, her sister, Darla, Amy, Jon, Jessie and soon to be husband Jeff, Hunter, Ashlyn, Daniel and Nataleigh.
