Norman "Norm" Flynn

I met Norman Flynn in 1996 at the Moscow airport to be his translator/liaison. I was working for what would become the Russian Guild of Realtors and it was my first day working at this position. From that first day I translated for him during a number of his visits to Russia. From that very first day and always, I really admired Norm´s ability to communicate with people in a proper way, his tremendous sense of humor, and his unbelievable capacity to settle difficulties, both professional...

Norm did so much good in this world. It was a pleasure to know him. Norm and I (Mary Jane) shared a music stand in the orchestra at Aquinas, and it was one laugh after another!

My father, Robert Voight. Adored both Norm and Sue. He followed your careers and was proud of your accomplishments. I,too, admired you both when we reconnected in Madison. My heart goes out to you, Sue. What a pair!

Mr Flynn was my Aquinas debate and speech teacher. He dedicated many weekends shepherding us all over the state and coaching us to significant success. I do not know anything about his real estate accolades. I only believe that many of the students in my class owe a great deal of their adult success to the skills he instilled in us. That achievement is a legacy to be very proud of. Mike Cahill Aquinas class of 67.

My thoughts and prayers to the Flynn family. Mr. Flynn was my English teacher at Aquinas in 1965. He made a profound difference in my life, and I have thought of him often over all these years.

Norm and Sue have been our closest friends for over fifty years. We came together as two young families, building our careers and raising our families side by side. We created a half-century of memories for ourselves and our children as we camped together on the Mississippi River from our shared houseboat, celebrated holidays together, and cried or rejoiced together through the good times and tough times of life. We shared endless discussions of life and how best to live it over campfires...
