Fleming V. Austin, retired, Senior V.P. of Sovran Bank (now Bank of America) and Central Virginia Bank in Powhatan passed away at the age of 82 on September 28, 2013. A good man is one who is loved for the warmth and caring in his heart. A wise man is one who teaches by the fine example of his life. A strong man is one who has worked hard and always done his best for his family. A successful man is one who has earned the respect and admiration of others. A man who is good, wise, strong, and the truest kind of success – a man who was loved more than he could possibly have known. Fleming was a Navy Veteran serving aboard the U.S.S. Leyte during the Korean War. After several years with the Central National Bank he joined First Merchants National Bank in 1961.
