Not sure what to say?

I worked at Flanigan's corporate office in the early 80's as Kay Reyman's secretary. Mr. Flanigan was always so kind to everyone.

He has taught me so much about how to treat your employees and has been a great influence in my current success. I know he...

My Deepest Condolences to you and your family.Your friend at Walkers Cay and Jacquies wedding.

Big Daddy was like a brother to my grandfather, Ed, and we grew up thinking of him as an extra special uncle. My siblings and I grew up wearing the t-shirts with Big Daddy's likeness and proudly telling our friends about our Florida cousins.

Our hearts go out to Ann and the family. We are sending our hugs and prayers at this difficult time. Megan, Emanuele & Luca

My sincere condolences to the family

To the entire Flangian family words can not express my sorrow for you. Big Joe always treated me as if I was one of his own. When I was only 15 years old I quit school and started my first boat business.Joe was one of my first customers, He was more interrested in how I was doing and helping me with great business advice than the work I was doing on his boat!

My Deepst Sympathy goes out to The Flanigan Family.
I worked for Joe Flanigan for 5 years. He believed in me when I did not believe in myself. When I was down and out, trying to start my life over Mr. Flanigan loaned me the money for a car and a apartment. Without his support and kindness I would not have the beautiful life that I have today. I know that Mr. Flanigan helped many people.

What I'll remember most is his big heart and his big laughter. he was a BIG MAN.

THANK YOU DAD, FOR EVERYTHING.
