Born and raised in Philadelphia, Edward (Duker) Flynn was a man of many passions and occupations. While visiting New Mexico in the mid 1980�s to assist Annamay, he fell in love with the Land of Enchantment and never went back to Philadelphia to live, only to visit. He loved the open spaces and wonderful sky. He will be a dearly missed loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather (Poppi). Although sad at our loss, the family knows that Ed has gone to the Father in heaven and is at peace. The littlest ones know that Poppi is watching over them from heaven.
