Mr. Michael Flint

Mr. Michael Flint, age 69, passed away on Tuesday, September 23, 2014 at the Faxton-St. Luke’s Healthcare Center with his loving family by his side. Born in Utica on May 24, 1945, Michael was the son of Edith (Hitt) Flint and the late Lloyd Flint. Raised and educated locally, he was a graduate of T.R. Proctor High School. He was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force. Michael worked for the New York State Department of Transportation for many years. He later accepted a position with the United States Army Corps of Engineers in Tennessee. Some time later, upon returning to New York, Michael held employment at Revere Copper & Brass, Inc. in Rome. An energetic, active man, Michael pushed his boundaries to experience all that life had to offer, and all his goals were met with determination and a strong spirit to succeed. An avid outdoorsman, Michael loved hunting, fishing, and camping in the North Country. He held memberships in the White-Otter Fish & Game Club, the White Lake Trackside Blazers Snowmobile Club, the American Legion Post 0001, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). Michael is survived by his mother, Edith Flint; his son, Shawn Flint of Florida; his sisters and brothers-in-law, Donna and Thomas Conte of Utica, and Sandra and Ed Belden of Salisbury Center; his brother, Richard Flint of White Lake, NY and Georgia; and his many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins. The family is grateful to the doctors, nurses, and staff of the Faxton-St. Luke’s Healthcare Center, Intensive Care Unit, and Dr. Ira Tisch for the professional and empathetic care rendered to Michael. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend Michael’s funeral service and Celebration of Life which will commence on Monday afternoon at 1:00 at Historic Old St. John’s Church where his Mass of Christian Burial will be offered by Rev. John Buehler, with Military Honors conferred. The family will receive visitors at the conclusion of Mass. Memorial donations in Michael’s name may be considered to the Wounded Warriors Project in lieu of flowers; envelopes will be available at the service. Interment will take place in St. Agnes Cemetery at the convenience of the family. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Eannace Funeral Home, Inc., 932 South St., corner of Hammond Ave.
