Lorence Richard “Dick” Flynn, DDS
With loved ones by his side, Dr. Lorence Richard “Dick” Flynn passed peacefully at home on Aug. 15, 2015.
Dick was born to Thomas
and Helen Flynn on May 11,
1941, in Kalispell. After grad-
uating from Flathead County
High School in 1959, Dick
moved to Seattle to pursue a
career in dentistry. He gradu-
ated with honors from the University of Wash- ington in 1965 with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and was appointed assistant dental sur- geon in the Reserve Corps of the Public Health Service. During his service, he had the oppor- tunity to live and work on two Indian Reser- vations — the Navajo Reservation in Gallup, New Mexico, and the Blackfeet Reservation in Browning.
Dick opened his first dental practice in Wenatchee, Washington, where he practiced for 10 years. He then moved home to Kalispell and continued his practice of dentistry for an- other 35 years. Dick was elected to district and state dental associations in both Washington and Montana. In 1989, he worked with Mon- tana Gov. Stan Stephens to write a proclama- tion that February is Dental Health Month in Montana. In 1992, he was recognized by Kalis- pell School District for welcoming third grade classes valley-wide to come to his office to learn about caring for their teeth. In 11 years, over 5,000 third graders had visited his office. It wasn’t fixing teeth that drove his pas-
sion for dentistry; he treasured the
friendships he gained through caring for his patients.
Dick was proud that his fam- ily’s history in the Flathead Valley dates back to when the first homesteaders arrived. He agreed with his grandfather, who believed that the valley is “in God’s shirt pocket.” Dick continued a long, familial tra- dition of contributing to the
development and well-being of the community of Kalispell.
Dick was a dedicated son, brother, husband and father. He had immeasurable love and pride for his three children.
Among many things, Dick Flynn will be remembered as humble, kind, thoughtful, pos- itive, hard-working and generous. He always placed the needs of others ahead of his own — even when his needs were greater. Many en- joyed his quick wit and hearty laugh. He had a way of bringing a smile to any circumstance.
Dick is survived by his daughter Annie Flynn and her husband Dane, of Big Arm; his daughter, Lara Flynn, of Shoreline, Washing- ton; and his son and daughter-in-law, Dave and Cindy Flynn, of Snohomish, Washington. He is also survived by five grandchildren whom he adored; his sisters, Donna Nygren of Spokane and Joanne Dykes of Kalispell; and his brother, David Flynn, of Boise, Idaho.
Dick was preceded in death by his wife, Mari Ann Flynn; his mother, Helen Flynn; his father, Thomas Flynn; and two beloved
brothers-in-law.
