Austin Flook Obituary
Austin was born June 18,1932 the son of John Jacob Flook and Inez Eudora Alexander of Boonsboro Maryland.
He was a lifelong farmer, had been a member of the Boonsboro Fire Company, Boonsboro Historical Society, a lifetime member of the McClellan Gun Club as well as serving with several other civic organizations.
He had been involved with a variety of business ventures including the former Boonsboro livestock auction and a long time part of J.G. Cochran Auctioneers, where he enjoyed spending time in conversations with many who attended the auctions. He also enjoyed collecting antiques throughout the years with Joanne as well.
The family farms were his pride and joy and he was most proud of their history and being able to place them into preservation and conservation programs, but still being able to make them available for various fund raising and filmography events that have occurred there over the years.
Austin is survived by his son, Dwayne Flook, grandson Logan Flook "The Boy", grandson Parker Flook "The Baby" and Crystal Flook, "Micki" as he liked to call her. He will also be fondly remembered by special friends James, Leslie & Jamie Cochran, Bruce & Kathy Poole, Dennis & Joyce Everett, the members of Actor's Hill Shooting Syndicate along with countless family, friends and auction goers.
The family would like to extend their special thanks and gratitude to Paramedic Keli Smith with Washington County DES, Paramedic Kelli Morgan and technician James Foreberger with Sharpsburg EMS, the staff of 4 East at Meritus Medical Center, the palliative care staff at Meritus Medical Center and the staff with Hospice of Washington County for all of their care and compassion during this time.
Graveside services will be held at Boonsboro Cemetery, on Thursday, January 13, 2022 at 2pm
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations made to the charity of one's choice.

How you can show support

Austin was a friend of our family for nearly 80 years. That association started in the late 1940s when he was an original member of the Boonsboro scout troop of which my father was the original scout master. Many great stories come from that period. Austin has generously continued that association over the years raising money and generally supporting scouting.
He also remained a family friend. I enjoyed visiting with him although that didn't happen often enough. You could expect a long visit covering many topics and always coming away with new knowledge.
I believe my father acquired at least one horse from Austin and at different times pastured horses at the Flook farm.
As a teenager, friends and I helped Austin bale hay and would just hang out at the farm. Those were fun times.
Austin was a local giant who quietly made a lifelong impact.
You'll be missed friend.
