Memories and Condolences
for Francis Flynn

Not sure what to say?





Franny was a great guy to know, funny , joker, and a protector!
I remember Franny years ago in Mattapan days! He would call me pizza! Why I don't know! He was a pretty good Street hockey player. He always put a smile on my face!
1 day in Boston I had bumped in into Franny on Boylston Street, I heard someone yelled out ..... heypizza and I turned around and low and behold it was Fran, all I could do was turn around and seen him and laughed . We talked for a minutes and we talked about the old days, about Mattapan and Saint Angeles, his mom was a lunch lady and Paul his brother!
I'm so sorry that he moved on! But he is in heaven now and you all now have a Guardian angel that will protect you and ♂guard you!
So Fran, rest peacefully now and you know what to do!
Take care, I'll miss you and I will never forget my nick name!
Pizza Pietersen (John)!

My deepest condolences to The Flynn Family....I only found out April 14th, 2014 of Frannys passing through Boston Globe columnist Kevin Cullens' beautiful tributes to him. Anyone who had the honor of knowing him will understand why this guest book should remain open permanently for his family and friends. Being the wife of a firefighter and in the past having been an EMT, I know the importance of keeping the memory alive..especially of a good Jake. God Bless The Flynn family and for old times sake, here is an Irish Gaelic blessing for you, Franny "Ar Dheis De' Go Raibh a Anam" May He Rest At The Right Hand of God...RIP...Sincerely, Loriann Shannon Scully
