If you asked him, he would tell you he never worked a day in his life because of how much he enjoyed doing it day in and day out. He was a lover of history and music. He enjoyed fishing, attending sporting events, and traveling. Traveling was a love he developed early in life, as an exchange student in New Zealand and through trips to France and many other places. In his youth, he was also an avid runner, skier, and tennis player. Despite his many accomplishments and hobbies, his biggest love was spending time with his family. His most used quote was "have I ever told you how much I like being with you?" To express condolences online, please visit www.carmodyflynn.com.
