RICHARD FLUTIE Obituary
Joan Marie (Rhoades) Flutie, 73, was the daughter of Marie T. (Gribbin) and William W. Rhoades of Baltimore, Maryland. She leaves one sister, Diane (Rhoades) Harney and brother in law, John Harney. Dick, Joan, John and Diane were constant companions and Joan and Diane were truly best friends. Joan attended All Saints Catholic School from first grade through eighth and then went on to Seton High School, both in Baltimore, Maryland. Joan and Dick Flutie met in high school and have been together ever since. You never saw one without the other. They enjoyed playing bridge with Joan's sister and brother-in-law, Diane and John Harney, and especially enjoyed watching their children's athletic events. In their later years, they enjoyed watching the Melbourne Beach Orioles, where both Bill and Doug played, and the team members loved them. They were "season ticket holders" and rarely missed a game. They lived in Brevard County from 1967 to 1976 and returned from 1999 to 2015. From 1976 to 1999, they lived in Natick, Massachusetts where Joan worked at Roche Bros. for many years. Joan was a shining light and friend to all, an extremely loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and caretaker for Dick in his later years. She was an athlete and loved golf, tennis, swimming, the beach, and all sports. Mostly she enjoyed taking care of her family. They were her pride and joy, along with taking care of her home, yard and gardens to the extreme.
Dick and Joan celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary in October. They are survived by their children, Denise Flutie-Morgan and husband Scott, William Flutie and wife Gwen, Douglas Flutie and wife Laurie, and Darren Flutie and wife Terri; as well as their grandchildren, Jennifer Flutie, Brooke Flutie-Mulcahy, Billy Flutie, Brittany Alberghini, Brett Flutie, Alexa Flutie-Sumner, Dougie Flutie, Jr., Taylor Flutie, and Troy Flutie; great-grandchildren, Capri, Bria and Decker Mulcahy; dear daughter-in-law, Donna Donovan-Flutie; Dick's sister, Alinda Flutie; cousin Ronald Plotka; childhood friend, Louis Bates; and special family friend, Luann Darras Jarvie, whom Dick and Joan thought of as their daughter, as well as several other cousins and relatives too numerous to mention.
Dick and Joan were together for 60 years in this life, passed within minutes of each other, and will spend their eternity together.
Mom and dad, we love you! You left us way too soon. You were truly meant to be together for eternity and you will be remembered as loving parents who always put your children before yourselves. You will forever be in our hearts and your legacy lives on through all of us.
Relatives and friends are invited to visit with the family on Friday, November 27th from 4:00 to 7:00 Pm in the Chapel of the John Everett & Sons Funeral Home, 4 Park Street, at Natick Common.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Our hearts where broken when we lost them both. Ben and I still have them in our thoughts. We have cried laughing at some of the antics Joan used to get us into. A testament to Joan and Richard lives on in your wonderful family. It still hurts, but I know we will see them again.

I always will remember Dick Flutie as "coach." Even 40 years later, I'd still refer to him as coach. That's what he was to all of us who played for him. The fundamentals I learned from him carried me through high school and college. Had I not interacted with coach, I dare say I may not have had the opportunity to play at those levels. Even when I was going through pro tryouts, I could still hear his voice reminding me about fundamentals. Joan ran the ballpark. She roamed that Little League complex without shoes, but knew the whole operation while playing goalkeeper with her four kid (and the 15 or so more she adopted because of youth sports). I hope they knew what a positive impact they had on dozens of kids, and impact that lasts a lifetime. I sure do miss them, but I'm more glad they were in my life than sad they are gone. Being around such wonderful people is comforting. My best to the Flutie family, and the extended family who were my former teammates. The Fluties were a big part of why my childhood was great!

Dear Doug:Watched DWTS just now and am still in tears after watching you devote your beautiful waltz to your dear parents. I've heard of dying of a broken heart and how tragic you lost both your mom and dad on the same day. Thank you for your beautiful dance. They watched you from heaven!In sympathy from a caring fan.

Dear Doug, Bill, Darren, Denise, and all of your family,
Our hearts go out to you, not the least with the holidays approaching.
Doug, one short memory to offer: I recall your Dad inside (a corner of?) the old Coolidge Jr. High gym, I guess that first basketball season after you came up to Natick, and ever-present at practices and of course games, never overbearing, and if I recall correctly, he was there quietly, in steadfast support. He must have glowed during that eighth-grade undefeated season, and your game-winning shot vs. Wellesley, a precursor ... Both of your parents must have been beautiful people, from the little I know of your family. Hope you can each bask in those memories during the seasons ahead.

Dear Flutie Family,
We are sorry to hear about your loses. What love they must of had for each other to pass away on the same day.
I worked with Richard for several years at Digital Equipment Corp. He was the best manager that I had in my career. He was a great mentor, teaching me how to write reports and sell my ideas. He organized a golf team in the DEC league and talked me into playing. We would go to the driving range at lunch for practice. Dick got a hole-in-one and spent the prize money buying everyone in the club house a drink.
It was great knowing the Flutie Family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Joan you will be remembered by my husband Ron and myself, Joan always working in her immaculate yard, bringing in someones garbage can, walking with a neighbor friend. I would always stop on way to or from work when I would see her working in the yard to say "hello" to her, always a sweet "hello" and "how are you doing" back. Rest in Peace in the loving arms of our Lord and with Dick you true loves. Roxanne and Ron Cunningham

Dear Flutie Family,
I had the privilege of working with your Dad at Digital Equipment Corp. in the mid-90's. Your Dad was so kind to get my son an autographed picture of Doug. My husband and I went to Christmas parties with your Dad & Mom. I spoke with Dick a few years ago, and he sent me a cd of his Big Band group in Florida that he was directing. You are in our prayers.
God bless you all, Ellen Dupont

Prayers, hugs and love at this very difficult time. As someone who lost their parents 6 weeks apart I cannot imagine the heartache you are all feeling...Although I do not know any of you personally....It appears your loved ones were amazing people. I offer a passage that I reflect on since my parents passed that helps me through the challenging days of missing them..."Death ends a life not a relationship...As long as we can love each other and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever realy going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here. Tuesday's With Morrie
May God grant you continued comfort, peace and love

We were saddened to hear of this terrible loss.
While we were never privileged to meet Dick or Joan, it was inspiring to read of their true love and devotion through the years.
There is one thought that hopefully might provide some comfort. My own father of blessed memory served for many years as a congregational rabbi. He used to say that in this business of life, a person's true calling cards were his children. Without a doubt, the values and deeds of Dick and Joan are reflected in their children and their good deeds and dedication to all people.
May their memories be a blessing to all who loved and were loved by them.
With deepest sympathy,
John Deschenes

Dear Mr. Flutie.
Listening to you broadcast the game last night brought back so many memories. In 1998, my parents died a day apart. My mother had had a stroke seven months earlier. The day after she died we went to my father's house and told him. He cried for an hour and went to sleep. Never woke up. They were buried together the next day.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Thank you so much for broadcasting the game last night.

To the entire Flutie family - My heart and prayers goes out to your family during this time of grief. I never met these two wonderful people. I met Doug at BC (my cousin attended with him) and I met Darren at Endicott College (I worked there). After looking at their story of life together, I realize that they were soul mates and it was obvious that they were meant to be together for all of eternity. They will stay alive forever in your stories, memories, pictures and through your family. Peace to your family forever! You all be reunited someday. Until then, you have two wonderful guardian angels watching over you.
