FLYNN, John Joseph Harold “Dirty Harry”
February 14, 1950, Britannia Beach, BC - November 4, 2016, Airdrie, AB

Harry fought a long hard battle with cancer. He gave up that battle to be with Princess, his dog; brother Barry and mom & dad.

He left behind his wife of 22 years, Debbie; daughter, Patty Rhodes; son, Cody Murray (Katie); grandchildren, Chantel Rhodes and Davide Rhodes; special grandson, Carson who gave him his last laugh; niece, Laura Copping (Rob); nephews, Butch (Tanya), Barry Jr (Jacquie) and Mark (Christine); as well as many trucking and family friends.

A Celebration of Harry’s Life will be held at the Balzac Hall on Monday, December 5, 2016 at 1:00 pm for Harry’s special treats. A truck procession will be leaving the Road King Truck Stop at 12:30 pm for his last ride. Please feel free to contact Debbie at 403-948-8664 for any further information.

Growing up Mom and Dad were always close with Harry. When ever I would go to the shop with Dad, Harry was there with a smile and would talk to a little kid. I always remember how cool his pickup truck was with the bunk on the back. That's what I wanted on my truck. He always had a smile and kind words and he was one of my favourite people. Now him and dad will drive the long highway playing Pacman and enjoying each other's company. He will be missed.

To your family may you find Comfort at such a difficult time. Harry was a great man and friend of the family. I always loved seeing him around the office, back when I was a summer student. He was a master of his craft! Hugs to everyone

- Michelle and Kevin McNutt and family

Figured out Gary and I have known Harry for 37 years, trucked many a mile and had a lot of good times together. Harry was a kind and patient man who always had time to visit and say hello. He and Gary are probably swapping stories about trucks and horses. I will treasure the memories.

I went to school with Patty and know how much she loved her dad. My heart goes out to all of the family right now and always. Love and hugs. xoxo
