Patrick Flaherty Obituary

Twenty one years later and you are still remembered fondly, Mr. Flaherty. Your instruction in Latin and the classical education has been such a strong base for my life. I also have a love for Werther's candies because of you. Your legacy lives on.

Mr. Flaherty was a talented, energetic,and dedicated teacher. He made daily Latin class enjoyable for me and some of the best/funniest stories from Weber High School occurred in his classroom.



He was a favorite teacher of so many of us because he always gave of his time and talents and he had a great sense of humor.



I was always appreciative that Mr. Flaherty attended nearly every basketball game we ever played and attended school events regularly. He took great pride in our success at Weber.



One of the finest compliments was that he was so well-rounded as he knew something about everything and he knew his subject of Latin about as well as you possibly could. He led Weber's Latin team to a state championship over schools that were much bigger, an amazing accomplishment.



We will miss Mr. Flaherty and will cherish all the great memories from our days in Room 103. A fine Irishman indeed.

It was with much sadness that we learned of Pat's passing. He was a good friend though we have not seen him for a few years. Pat stood up at our wedding in Sept. of 1957 and was a good friend all through my years at DePaul Univ. Sorry this is late but we don't get the Trib every day and then I don't read it right away when I do get a copy.

He will be in our prayers.

We were very sorry to hear about the passing of Pat. We met recently at my sister Mary Sroka's funeral and shared some childhood memories with him.

Our best wishes to the family.

We remember Pat as a wonderful outgoing person that loved his family and always wrote a wonderful Christmas letter to everybody. He recently gave us a copy of his family tree.

Sarah Loughlin was my mother and she was also very close to Mary Casey.

Pat was my cousins husband. He was a wonderful man who loved his family, teaching and flowers. My garden is beautiful with many starts from Pat. The most recent one (1 1/2 yrs. ago) named "the pretty little weed".

I met Pat at St John Cantius Church in Chicago a few years ago. He was the Dean of the Latin & Greek program there. Always giving his time to others, his kindness will not be fogotten. He was my teacher, and my friend. I will miss him very much.
