He leaves behind his wife of 58 years, Patricia Flynn, of Holland; son, Andrew (Marcia) Flynn and grandchildren, Maya and Charles, of Chandler, AZ.

In addition, he became an amateur radio operator, and publisher of SSTV Today, a magazine for ham radio enthusiasts. In retirement, he became a nationally known expert on John James Audubon prints, and his price guides are still in publication. He also was interested in genealogy and wrote several books for family members. As per his wishes, there will be no services.
