Doug Fleming Memorial Services

[Z]

Hello everyone.

Doug Fleming’s family asked me to please forward this information about Doug’s Memorial Services. The family decided to have a memorial in the Roseville (CA) and Chicago areas, so everyone part of Doug’s life can gather.

Roseville:

August 12th, 2005 11AM

St. Roses Church
615 Vine Ave
Roseville, CA 95678

Chicago:

August 19th, 2005 9:30AM

Old St. Patrick’s Church
700 W. Adams
Chicago, IL 60661

The family respectfully asks for NO FLOWERS. There will be many people attending and the Church will not know how to handle the flowers.

The family respectfully asks, in place of flowers that donations be made in honor of Doug, to the following organizations:

Safer Pest Control Project
25 E. Washington
Suite 1515
Chicago, IL 60602-1849

Child Welfare League of America
440 1st St NW
3rd Floor
Washington, DC 20001-2085

Uhlich Children’s Advantage Network
3737 N. Mozart
Chicago, IL 60618


If you want to send a card or note to the family, please send me an e-mail @ WYTZZ95FM@AOL.COM and I will provide you an address you can mail it to and then I will forward all correspondence to them at the proper time.

Furthermore, ALL e-mail I have received has been forwarded to an e-mail so Doug’s family can read it when they are ready. I can’t stress how important your e-mail’s, your posts and phone calls have been. Whether you knew Doug personally or never met, Doug’s mom told me the outpouring is comforting to know that Doug touched so many people, and she appreciates everything from everyone, and when the time is right will go over all e-mails, as she is eager to hear everything people want to share with her about Doug.

Again, the e-mail contact is WYTZZ95FM@AOL.COM if you would like to drop an electronic line to his family. Everyone is welcomed, do not be shy to express yourself and the joyous memories you shared with Doug, and if you never met Doug, simply what you feel and want to share.

From the Fleming family, the entire Radio-Info Staff, we wish peace love and happiness for you and your loved ones.

Bill,

I respectfully held back from asking but I did wonder what was happening with any sort of memorial and/or funeral arrangements.  Thank you for keeping us informed.

Tony, and everyone else, thank you for the respect towards the family.

As far as the time.....it is hard for his family to grieve and to arrange a memorial service in 2 parts of the nation. And the nature of his passing, being missing for 3 days, the Nevada authorities have launched an investigation which is normal procedure in cases like this. Without disrespecting his family, I can say the initial autopsy found that Doug's passing was determined to be of natural causes.

But his family is quickly realizing how many peoples lives Doug touched upon.

Thank you again and have a great day. Happiness to you & yours.

The services are noted in this obituary in the Reno Gazette-Journal:
http://www.rgj.com/obits/index.php?id=13770

Quite a lot accomplished in his 27 years.

This Sunday's Los Angeles Times as well.

I was at work looking through the newspaper and by accident I turned to the obituary section (which I never did before) and I saw it right there. It gave me chills for a second and then I read all his accomplishments and was proud to have been associated with Doug in some way.

It sometimes seems we learn more about people as they pass on than we knew or realized while they were with us... and how much can be done in what appears to us now to be a short time.  It looks like Doug lived with gusto.

And in his passing, there are a number of Chicago-based organizations that will be tied to his life through memorial contributions.

Just wondering if the Times carried the same text as in the Reno paper? Its not online.

I'm glad he felt moved to start Radio-Info.com. It may seem in some ways like a trivial thing... an inexpensive (to us users, anyway) way to let people discuss--passionately--an industry that's not just an industry to those of us who connect here.

In doing so, he linked people together into a network that may be more effective at communicating than the broadcasts networks are at tying the country together except in times of great stress.

Maybe Radio-Info.com has had some effect on the practices and policies of the radio and television business and those who oversee it.  Hard to gauge that.

I happened to see where someone had made note of his last post here on July 14... and observed that he was interested in radio across the entire country. His last post was enquiring about a change to a couple of Clear Channel stations in (Tupelo? I think it was).

Interesting man. I'm sure that those attending the memorial services in Roseville and Chicago will learn yet more about him.

Ted.

Sorry to sound insensitive, but what did Doug die of? Natural Causes? Did he die on a bike ride?

I'll refer you to the Obituary, as I know nothing more than that.'
