Obituary For Thomas Patrick Flynn

Thomas Patrick Flynn, 77, of Hop Bottom, PA, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Monday, October 27, 2025, at Geisinger Medical Center Danville, PA. He was born April 12, 1948, in Philadelphia, PA, the son of the late Edward and Rose Flynn.

He was self-employed as a mechanic for many years in Delaware County, PA.

Tom was a passionate Philadelphia sports fan. Like many of us, he had a love hate relationship with our beloved Eagles. He raced lawn mowers, loved to bowl and shoot darts. Tom was an avid hunter, builder and family man with the most cherished title of Pop-Pop. Always the life of the party, the first one on the dance floor and quick with a smile.

Tom is survived by his wife of 40+ years Mary Jean Steltz (Sangelo) formerly of Essington, PA. Together, MJ and Tom raised a blended family of 4 children - Jason (Sue), Jessica (Matt), Tommy (Mindy) and Brad (Sarah). Additionally he is survived by 8 Grandchildren - Ceire, Jake, Max, Marin, Jaiden, Lena, Nico and Everly. Also survived by his sister Carol and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his brothers Ed (Sandy) and Pat (Doris).

Family and friends are invited to pay their respects to MJ and their kids on Saturday April 11, 2026 from 12 to 1pm. Immediately followed by a Celebration of Life to honor his wishes of sharing happy memories with laughs, stories and a good time. Both will be held at Charlotte’s Restaurant located at 3207 West Chester Pike in Newtown Square, PA.

Arrangements are under the direction of Visneski Funeral Home, Inc 42 West Mahoning Street Danville PA 17821. www.visneski.com

    Thomas P. Flynn II

    I was in my late teens and dad was approaching 50, when life found our family on the boardwalk in Wildwood, New Jersey. As usual, a calm afternoon stroll quickly turned into a competition between the two of us, where a race broke out. As I hit the finish line and looked back, I saw my pop picking himself up off the ground. He probably hadn't run 50 feet combined in the almost 3 decades prior and separating us. I was playing multiple sports at that time. That surely didn't stop him from taking me on. We met up and hugged it out, and now that I'm going to be 50 years just one day after his celebration takes place, I can understand well how the mind and body are quite separate. One wants to do things the other simply can't do. Dad's competitive blood runs through my veins. He was a very generous, high octane, prideful individual who helped to build me into who I am, for better or worse. I will love him dearly and miss him greatly for the remainder of my life. Rest in peace pop. Maybe we'll have round two in heaven one day.
