Francis E. “Frank” Flavin

Flavin, Francis E. “Frank” of Quincy, died after a long illness on November 28, 2022, surrounded by his loving family. 

Frank’s life revolved around his family and his faith.  Devoted husband of 57 years to his wife Marion, father of three boys and grandpa to ten.  He was also very fond of his German Shepherd dogs in which he had six over many years. An avid baseball fan of the Boston Braves and later the Boston Red Sox.  Both he and Marion where an important part of the spiritual life of St. Boniface Church in Quincy.  Frank was a lector, eucharistic minister and the religious instructor for the boy scout program at the church.  Frank was also a longtime member of the Knights of Columbus and a lifelong benefactor to the Sisters of Charity.  Mr. Flavin retired from National Grid where he worked for many years as a customer service manager.  He will be remembered as the life of the party, generous to a fault, and always placed the needs of his family ahead of his own.
