Not sure what to say?

John was a very good friend of mine both on & off the gridiron at SHS. John played starting left end... I was next to him at left tackle. We had a lot of fun ... he was a great player who covered my mistakes.. many times on many occasions. Off the field, we partied hard with our mutual friends. I always considered him to be one of the indestructible people & I was surprised at his passing. Good memories. RIP John.

Over the years, he connected with so many people. It's been years since I saw him last, but his name always brings a smile to my face. R.I.P.

Great guy and great family. Our thoughts are with you. Among Johns other accomplishments he was instrumental in the founding of the Concord Dance Academy Basketball Team.(Men in Pink) This team was originally composed of mostly Rugby players who had no business on a basketball court. The team was built around a couple of tall men known as the Twin Towers of Crap. Winnning was not an option.

My sincere condolences to John´s family. He was quite a guy! Loved spending time at the beach and being the recipient of his wonderful food and his very dry sense of humor! God´s speed, John......

It's time to remember all of the great times we all had at the Down Town Athletic Club. Who could forget John's spaghetti dinners after the matches. A Concord Rugby Club legend, on and off the field.

May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, rest in peace John

To John's Family So sorry to hear of John's passing. I will always remember our times on and off the rugby field. He was always a joy to be around along with his quick wit. He was so proud of his boys and always beamed when he spoke of them. He was a good friend and will be missed by many. God Bless.

Our sympathies go out to the entire Flanagan families. Our families spent many years creating memories, among them, John visiting us on Christmas Eve dressed as Santa, pool parties at our home, having his delicious onion soup at their home, our children spending countless hours making movies, just to name a few. I´m sure you all have many wonderful memories to keep him alive in your hearts. Much love, Carol, Denise, Jay, Mark, and MaryBeth

Sympathy to John's family. We had some great times back in the Rugby days and those nightly basketball games at the DTAC. May you rest in peace John.
