How about his ashes? I am not good with formatting; so please help me with the link http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=7197355; it says his ashes were scattered at sea.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Heliumboy (talk • contribs) 02:48, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Need to clean up grammar in parag. on Fleming's background. edit
"...(Fleming) ...a popular dance team in Europe, who had brought their show to America... son Art was a varsity letterman football player at James Monroe High School in New York[3], standing 6 foot, 4 inches (1.93 m), weighing 220 pounds (99.79 kg). He later attended Colgate and Cornell universities [4], starring on the football team, as well as water polo teams at both colleges." Who he, father or son... which is the antecedent?Danleywolfe (talk) 14:52, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
Unsourced Claim Removal edit
I couldn't find any reliable sources for the claim, "Studio 25 of The Burbank Studios is named in his honor," and there is no such indication on the official website of the Burbank Studios, so I removed that sentence. Feel free to revert my edit if you find a reliable source. --Sandtalon (talk) 23:52, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
