Robert "Bob" Billy Flynn

Robert "Bob" Billy Flynn, longtime resident of Albuquerque, NM, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family, on February 15, 2019.

Bob was born August 16, 1937 in Rutherfordton,

NC to Opal (Earley) Flynn and Melvin Flynn. He attended Tri High High School in Avondale, NC, and served as Airman Second Class in the Air Force from 1961 to 1965. Bob was well known in Albuquerque, as he was a longtime employee at Commercial Credit, First National Bank, and owned several car lots, including Master Motor, RB’s Auto Sales, and Express Credit Automart.

Bob enjoyed reading, playing cards, golfing, watching sports, and Westerns, and eating candy. He loved the many Dachshunds he and Eileen owned through the years.

He was a long time parishioner at St. Stephen’s United Methodist Church and participated in BSF and Promise Keepers. Bob had a great sense of humor, and was generous to a fault. He will be greatly missed.

Bob was preceded in death by his beloved third wife of 31 years, Eileen Baker Flynn; daughter, Tammy White; brother Zeb Roger Flynn; and his parents. Bob is survived by brother Michael (Donna) Flynn of Cliffside, NC; daughters Molly (Todd) Shumate, of Gurnee, IL; Melissa Flynn; Amber (Ryan) Eberhart; and Sarah (Reymundo) Gallegos, all of Albuquerque, NM; grandchildren Timothy White, Lindsey White, Cassidy Spalding, Madalene Shumate, Victoria Shumate, Kathryn Spalding, Zooey Eberhart, Gideon Gallegos, Tennyson Eberhart, and Jace Gallegos.
