Louis (Lou) Lambert Flynn, age 86, died at home on November 20, 2013. He was born October 21, 1927 in Pittsburgh, PA.
Lou (PopPop) taught us how to live and die with dignity, generosity, and humor. A gifted communicator with a big brain and tremendous wit, PopPop was a genuinely nice guy and truly one-of-a-kind. We'll miss his thoughtful advice, giddy laugh, and twinkling blue eyes. He was an entrepreneur who operated Louis L. Flynn & Assoc. (Columbus) and Flynn Auto Parts (Grove City, PA). A WWII vet, he served as a Marine in Hawaii. He attended Duquesne University on the GI Bill, developing a deep passion for learning. You never saw PopPop without a book, which he was always eager to discuss.

grandchildren, Bridget Flynn Schodorf and Luke Porter Flynn;
