I first met Flynnster 12 years ago. He was an original member of the"Wolrd Famous Reptialians" karaoke singing group. His personality made a room take note of his presence. He loved playing Golden Tee and telling stories about his life with the car racing elite. His car racing knowledge and experiences were fantastic. He will be forever missed by his friends and fellow "Reptialians". God Bless Flynnster!

I only met Flynster recently so I did not know him real well. I do know he was a fascinating person to have a conversation with and had impeccable taste in friends. I only wish I could have met him sooner. My condolences to his family and friends.
