G. Flieg Obituary
Memories and Condolences
for G. Flieg

My condolences to the Flieg family. My first job as a high school teen was working in concessions at the Zoo. I met several of the keepers at the zoo, Mike being one of them. He was a very friendly, funny, and down to earth gentleman, always having a kind word for us 'youngsters' with most of us experiencing our first ever employment. I'm sure he would have never remembered me, but he was one of those people that came into a person's life and made it better. I worked at the zoo from '66 to '68. Our paths never crossed again but reading the Post's article yesterday stirred a memory of the man who was so congenial to so many--a fond and lasting memory. May he rest in peace and reside in harmony among God's creatures in heaven. And may you all find comfort in the days and weeks ahead in knowing that Mike was truly a blessing here on earth, giving so much to so many--for all of us and our offspring to enjoy for years to come!

Knowing Mike for 50 years was an honor. He introduced me to birding, and I fondly recall the many birding trips, and the canoe trips with he and Jackie. He left a wonderful legacy and will be sorely missed. My sympathy to Jackie and his children, their spouses, and his grandchildren.
Sincerely,
Angela Henderson

My deepest sympathy to all of you. I loved Mike like a brother. I can remember when Suzie and I would babysit the kids. I also will never forget all the fun we had when he coached our softball team. He will be greatly missed.
