He was both my football and baseball coach from 1976-1980. I remember us running backs trotting behind Flynn during practice like baby ducks behind its mother. Many great moments and memories. May he rest in peace. God Bless!

I played for coach Flynn and he was a football coach in every sense. I regret not being able to tell him in person how much he meant to me. You mention he played for the Pirates and in those days once you played pro you could not play any sport in college, so he could not play at U Maine and that’s when he decided to be a coach. People I spoke with who saw him play said he was the best running back in Maine high school history. To hear Coach Flynn tell the story of Norm Parant was one of the most emotional stories I have ever heard. I was very fortunate to share a coffee and a doughnut in the mornings in the old equipment room with Chic Leahey and Bob Flynn and it is still my most endearing memories at �ֲ��ý. Whenever I screw up in anything I still hear in my head Coach Flynn say (which I heard every day in practice) “God bless America and all the ships at sea,what were you thinking on that throw Pohli?!?!?” Rest in peace coach Flynn
