The Hog Ring - Trimmer Ralph William Fleming Dies at 92

Trimmer Ralph William Fleming of Silverton, Idaho, has died at age 92.

He was born August. 6, 1929, in Lewellen, Nebraska, and spent his early career working as a farmer. Later, Ralph pursued a career in auto upholstery. He worked for Moses Lake Auto Upholstery for many years before retiring in 1993.

“Ralph loved and enjoyed his family, gardening and was a jack of all trades; he would be so willing to help anyone in need — he loved helping others,” his obituary says.

Sadly, he died on July 8, 2022, just a few months after Louise Harriman, his wife of 70 years, passed away.

Ralph is survived by three children, Art Fleming, Patty Fleming and Bill Fleming; four grandchildren, Angela, John, Steve and Tim; nine great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

May he Rest In Peace.
