Edward met Emerita while on Air force assignment in the Philippines. They fell in love and married on January 16,1988 for 38 years and had three children.

Edward is survived by his wife, Emerita Fleming, and his children: Edward Fleming III, Eric Fleming, Erin Fleming, Christopher Salazar, and his entire beloved family in the Philippines.
