William “Billy” Flynn of Woburn, died unexpectedly on Wednesday, August,19, 2020.  He was sixty-two years old.

Born in Cambridge and raised in Burlington, Billy was the beloved and special son of the late John and Florence (Engel) Flynn.

A graduate of Burlington High School, class of 1976.  Billy lived his very best life and touched so many people with his outgoing friendly personality.  He had a positive outlook on life and always had a big smile and a booming laugh.  He lived by his favorite saying, “I’ll worry about that tomorrow!” He was kind-hearted and always willing to offer a helping hand.  Billy enjoyed spending time working in his yard as well as his Uncle Frank’s yard and took great pride in each yard looking meticulous.  He loved all Boston sports teams, following players and keeping up with the stats. Billy loved his time with the Nexus family and their outings to Canobie Lake Park, Revere Beach and miniature golf.  He especially enjoyed the time spent with Elise Hamilton.  They all loved him unconditionally and it was there that he felt at home.

Cherished brother of Christine Burke and her husband Paul, Richard Flynn and his wife Elaine, and John Flynn. Adored by all his nieces, nephew, Uncle Frank Engel and many cousins, especially his cousins Michelle Paone and Rob Engel. Also survived by many friends at the Nexus family and his best friend Stephen Granfield.
