Thank you for raising his memory. He and his fellow priests and teachers were a strong influence on me, more than I realized at the time. Am particularly impressed by his 35 years of AA sobriety. I've 29 years now and am humbled to be in his company.

Fr. Flynn was a life changing example of faith and humanity to many of us at Cascia Hall

Father Flynn was Headmaster at Cascia Hall when I was a Junior and Senior there. His booming voice struck fear in many, and yet he was a man of mercy and compassion. "The quality of mercy ... Tis mightiest in the mightiest.." I am blessed to have known him.

Father Flynn was a stalwart teacher for me at Cascia Hall Preparatory School in Tulsa, Oklahoma during the Sixties. He was a little intimidating. I first met him shortly after my father died while I was sixth grade. We were in the Headmaster's Office at Cascia and he assured this 11-year-old that I would make it through Cascia Hall and into college and I believed him. A lasting memory.
He taught us to be Cascia Men. Sincere
condolences to his friends with assurance he lived a great life.
