John Hardy Fleming

Every TIME I met Brother John he always had a flower and a card for me, whether at Congregation Beth Messiah, the Washateria or just on the street. Sometimes he would say this flower is for you because it matches your outfit. I kept (and pinned it to my wall) the card he gave me with the beach scene and 2 empty chairs in the sand, he hand wrote a reference that one chair was for Yeshua and the other chair was for Gale Storm. He nicknamed me Gale Storm after the actress and he would say with a smile “you know she played in the 50’s TV show My little Margie.” It made me laugh and I would tell him back -be careful you’re telling your age now-. I thank God for showing his love on earth through Brother John with every sweet smelling flower and every heartfelt card I’ll miss Brother John and his God given love.

Would love to talk to someone that was in touch with Brother John. He is my brother that I have not seen for over 40 years.

I loved brother John like a father. He was there for me during my darkest days sharing the gospel in all seasons. I will always remember him and the time he spent with me & my family.
