Harold Fleming Obituary

I worked with Dr. Flemng in the CCU at SGH in the '70's. He was always a gentleman, a great doc,and a good friend. (His dad and mine worked together for a long time in the SPD.) Some of the new docs could take a lesson from his demeanor....he was a pleasure to work with.
I share your loss.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr.Harold Flening since He entered practice in Spartanburg.He was up on all the most recent medical information. He treated you as if you were the only one he had that day. He not only recommended what was needed for your medical Problem, but discussed the things happening in Spartanburg,also inguired about your children. He never failed to let you know about his children's accomplishments.He was so proud of his family.
His greatest excitement was the day he decided he was going to build North Grove. He had talked about it for a long time. We are so happy that he was able to see his dream completed.
He never lost his human touch wit or humor as long as he was able to come to the office. We could write a book on all of his great qualities.

This is written so the family will be able to understand just how much he trusted and loved his patients. Not many are blessed with his bedside manor nor take time to be so caring.

We were unable to write in the memory book after Dr. Fleming's service.

My fondest memory is when our baby son who had a heart problem due to a strep infection woke up very ill one morning.I called Dr. Coan and his reply was Harold is in school to become a physician. He will meet you at the office and he will start an I. V.with medications that will be called to the office to use in the fluids.
I took a very frighten little four year old boy to the office.We were met by a very kind and patient man. He calmed my baby son and started the I.V. with no problems.Dr Fleming knew I had to be in Columbia for a confrence on a child at two p.m. I was shocked when he gave me his home phone number to call when I returned home that afternoon to let him know how our child was as the office would probably be closed.

I was greatly impressed with his kind and caring attitude, humor and wit.

our deepest condolence to the family of Dr. Fleming,we were friends for years and treasure lots of pleasant memories

I will always remember his smile when he walked into the hospital,and he never talked down to anyone who worked there. God bless the wonderful family he left behind. Joyce Parris

Dr.Fleming was a very special person.He touched so many lives and was a friend to all who knew him.He had a special way of making people laugh and when he walked into a room it lit up with such happiness and joy.He loved to joke around with his patients and his staff.He loved his family so much and would tell me stories of his children and always smiled when he spoke their names.He loved telling the story of the birth Nick.I think one of the funnest stories was when the fire truck was called to the neighbors house. When Harold got home, all the kids were in the house around a boardgame; they had no clue that the fire truck was outside.He asked the children if they knew the fire truck was outside and they pretended that they did not.Dr. Harold did get to the bottom of it, though.He would laugh when he told the story of Ms.Lib taking Nick to school and leaving the keys in the car and of course Nick locked the doors and Ms.Lib couldn't get him to open the door.So of course, Dr.Fleming had to go to her rescue. As soon as Nick saw his dad, he opened the door and took Dr.Fleming's hand and walked right into school.I am so going to miss all the stories that he so loved to share with all of us and his humor.Dr.Fleming helped me in so many ways,he was a great listener,advisor and leader.The years I worked for him were some of the best years of my life.I have so much respect for him and I always felt like he was like a second father to me.He will truely be missed and never forgotten.My thoughts and prayers are with his family.He loved each of you with no end and may that love help you through this difficult time.

Dr.Harold Fleming was a friend to us before he became a physician. He was a great friend and was a briliant doctor.His death did not come as a shock. He has fought so hard aganist so many odds May he now rest in peace with our heavenly Father. He touched so many lives and will be missed by all who knew him. May God give you and your family peace during your time of grief. He was truly a family oriented person. He loved Lib and all of their children and their families.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Harold was my trusted friend and physician for nearly forty years. He had a quality about him that is rare and valuable; he always, always treated me as a friend and was a wise counselor to me and my late wife in her last illness. I will miss him as will many others.

We are saddened to learn of Dr. Harold Fleming's passing. He was a wonderful person and a great physician. He will be missed by many and remembered with loving thoughts. Our hearts and prayers are extended to his family; Dr. Nick, you are in our prayers.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Fleming family. Dr. Fleming has been such a shining light to my parents and thier health. Dr. Fleming will be missed for many years.
My deepest sympathy,

To the Fleming family: I have been a patient of Dr. Harold even before he had his own practice, he was working in the emergency room and filling in for Dr. Miller, Dr Miller was my doctor at that time and when Dr Miller died and he went into that practice I stayed with him ever since.He was much more than a doctor to me, he was a good friend. I pray that God will continue to bless all the Fleming family.
