Alan Parker Fleming ’41
Alan, a financial adviser and well-known tennis player, died July 22, 1997--indirectly from a fall suffered at home. A memorial service was held at the Church of Our Savior on Johns Island, S.C., where he and Sally Linen Fleming had made their home since 1985.
Alan grew up in East Orange and was educated at Princeton and Lafayette. In the war he was navigator on the first LST to see action in both the Atlantic and Pacific. Following study at NYU's school of business and stints with several NYC firms, he formed Dellwood Management Corp., eventually moving it to Seabrook Island.
In sporting circles Al Fleming was renowned as a top-seed senior tennis player, winning the USLTA father/son grass court doubles championship with son Peter in 1974. Soon thereafter Peter eclipsed his father by turning professional and ultimately teaming with the legendary John McEnroe to win seven Grand Slam doubles titles. (Peter graciously credits his father as teacher/mentor for all this glory.) Those who attended the Charleston mini-reunion will remember that Alan arranged our golf program.
In addition to Sally and Peter, Alan is survived by sons Parker, Steven, and Jeffrey, seven grandchildren, and a brother, Elliot. Our sorrow goes out to all of them.
