To the Flaherty Family: Thank you for sharing your Dad during my childhood. I have life long memories of growing up playing baseball on the Metuchen Little League fields. Mr. Flaherty, was a "players coach" who had a terrific way about him. The ability to teach baseball and life lessons that have stayed with me in sports, business and life. A strong leader, with the perfect combination of firm discipline when needed and gentle compassion when necessary. My heartfelt thanks for Mr. Flaherty's service to our country, community and his impact on my childhood. RIP

To the Flaherty Family, so sorry for your loss. Bob & I worked at GM for many years and was always my go to guy for industrial engineering issues in Chassis. He always had a smile on his face and was always willing to help anyone who asked.

To The Flaherty Family:
My deepest sympathies go out to you over your loss. May the memories of love shared comfort you and give you peace.
"Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven, where the love of our lost one pours through and shines down upon us, to let us know they are happy."

As a child I remember Bob and my Dad, Frank DeCourcey, were good friends who shared their dedication and humor for many years on the Oakland Ave. Little League field. Bob was so committed to giving back to his METUCHEN community. I will never forget your kindness, Bob. You set a wonderful example for ALL of us who knew you. I am sending my sincere thoughts and prayers to your lovely wife, Winifred, and to all of your children, and grandchildren. Rest in the peace and bliss of Heaven Bob, and say hello to my Dad.
