GEORGE FLEMMING 1932 - 2015 On Thursday, May 21, 2015, George Flemming of Winnipeg, Manitoba, passed away at the Grace Hospital, at the age of 82 years. He was predeceased by his mother Astrid (1951); father Arne (1982); his wives, Marie Antoinette (Toni) Dodson (1997) and Joyce McCombe (2010). George is survived by his brothers, Roy and Dorothy of Orangeville, ON, and Bill of Toronto, ON, stepchildren Garth and Jean McCombe and children, James and Lindsay (Dodson), Ian, Jessica and Will and daughter Annabel, and Jennifer, Robyn and Janet McCombe and children, Christopher and Lesley and son Frederick, Graeme, and Lauren (Costa Danakas), Pamela McCombe of Sorrento, Florida, and Bart and Linda McCombe of Victoria, BC, and nieces and nephews, Danny and Susan Dodson of Sault Ste. Marie, ON and children, Jennifer (Amber LaRocque), Sean, and Amy, Ron and Lynn Dodson and son Troy, Randy and Cindy Dodson and children, Lindsay, Dorian (Jenelle Crittin), and Olivia, and Cindy Vandersluis of Carman, MB and children, Donna and Brendan and daughter Chelsea, and numerous lifelong friends and neighbours, too many to mention. George was a free spirit and truly a kid at heart. He was a warm and very generous man and would do anything to help those he cared for. George worked at Air Canada for 40 years and in his spare time restored world-renowned classic cars with meticulous detail. He was a resourceful inventor and loved working on anything mechanical. George had a passion for music and ballroom dancing. His twoderful spirit and punny humor will be greatly missed by us all. "When you think of me, think of the happy memories." At George's request, no formal service will be held. In lieu of flowers, please donate in honour of George to CancerCare.

It is with deep sadness, I hear of Uncle George's passing. He was a very good man in many peoples eyes. A Caring, Giving, and Generous person that showed a lot of Charleswood youth and many others that time spent helping and sharing was easy and usually a lot of fun. Jeff B. Once a youth, forever a friend. - Posted by: Jeff Bruce (friend) on: May 31, 2015

So long George, happy puttering around with your cars (if they have any in heaven)and you won't require an aircraft to fly in now that you have wings. Til we meet again. - Posted by: Bob Barry (Air Canada compatriot and long time friend.) on: May 31, 2015
