Hugh John Flemming
1925-2018
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Hugh. J. Flemming,
loving husband of Millicent (Esson) Flemming, announces his peaceful
passing into the presence of his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, which
occurred on Wednesday, September 5, 2018 at Ridgewood
Veteran’s Wing. Born in Woodstock, NB on June 22, 1925, he
was a son of the late Hon. Hugh John Flemming and Mrs. Vera (Stithem)
Flemming.
Hugh was a WWII Royal Canadian Navy veteran, discharged in
the summer of 1945. He had a love for learning and studying, and
received a Forestry Engineering degree after the war and worked in
that field until he followed the call of his faith, and became
ordained as a Presbyterian minister. He later became a Professor of
Classics and Ancient History at the University of New Brunswick in
Saint John, from which he retired.
