PATRICK F. FLAHERTY

Patrick was a nice quiet leader of our Knights teams from 1962 through 1966. As a member of the team and a 1965 graduate, Pat was an inspiration to me. I followed his career for many years, a career which was summed up in a book by Brian Wallace, another Southie graduate who himself had a successful career in Boston politics. I´ll remember always the fantastic runs Pat had at White Stadium to the excitement of 10,000 maniacal fans.

Another year has passed but I still have a smile on my face when I think of what a GREAT man Pat was. GOD bless PAT and hIS entire family

God bless pat

I was a teammate of Pat at Southie, having graduated a year before him in 1965. I recall Pat joining the team when I was a sophomore. My oldest brother had graduated with another Southie three-sport All Star athlete, Dom Gentile. I had been to many games watching Dominic. I did not think there would ever be another like him. To my shock, on the first day of practice my sophomore year, Pat displayed a a rare combination of speed, athleticism, and strength. Mind you, Pat was only 15 playing...

I still remember your friendship you showed towards me as a freshman. My locker was on the third floor and it was situated right next to the doors leading to another part of the building. When ever I was at my locker and pat walked by he would open the door and gently push me into the locker. At first I had to look who did it, but after that I just knew it was him and laughed as he did as he went on his way. Never forget PAT. Hid bless him

A year has passed but the memories of your friendship toward me will never be forgotten. Imagine being a freshman and for some reason the star of south Boston looked out for me. Will always remember and thank you. God bless

To My Flaherty Friend´s & Old Neighbor´s, I just heard of Pat´s passing and I feel so bad that I didn´t know! Pat was always so kind and I remember him being an athlete as a little girl! It´s easy to say athlete when you say the name Flaherty though, you ALL WERE!! I started out as a lil tomboy playing with all the boys in the family that would play with me and having the sweet, Maureen teach me how to whistle! It´s a skill that I´m trying to train my Granddaughter to learn now and I say to...

I will miss my friend.

Please accept our heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Pat. He left behind an impressive legacy and May he Rest In Peace. Fondly, Chris & Arlene Boyle
