FLEMING, Rowland Murray: Murray Fleming passed away in North Vancouver, BC, on October 30, 2014. He is predeceased by his adored wife, Carol, "the Chick". Murray is survived by son Barry Fleming of Cloverdale; son Gerry Fleming (Sally) of Vancouver; daughter Tracy Bentz (Mark) of North Vancouver; and granddaughter Mackenzie Bentz. Murray, the only child of Pauline and Rowland Fleming, was born in Calgary, AB, on July 27, 1936. Murray and Carol married in 1961 and lived in Merritt for 35 years, during which time Murray worked at Craigmont Mines and Highland Valley Copper. When he retired in 1994, he and Carol moved to West Kelowna. During his retirement, he enthusiastically travelled across North America with his Airstream trailer, keenly invested in mining stocks and loyally supported the Leafs. Affectionately known by his family as Murt, Grandpa Murtle, Pa Murray and The Squanderer (Squand), Murray was a diligent and generous provider with a powerful sense of duty and unwavering integrity. The family would like to acknowledge the devoted caring Tracy provided in Murray's final months. They would also like to thank Dr. Paul Sugar; Julie Dunne, Murray's nurse at home; and the North Shore Hospice. A service will be held at a date and time to be determined. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Paul Sugar Palliative Support Foundation would be appreciated.
