Robert “Bob” Flack, age 75, of Tallahassee, Florida passed away on Monday, October 14, 2024, due to complications of Lewy body dementia. Bob was born to Roger and Florence Flack on April 18, 1949, in Chicago, Illinois. Raised in Chicago until moving to St. Petersburg, Florida, Bob graduated from Northeast High School in 1967. His college education included the Naval Academy and Florida State University before graduating from the University of South Florida. After college, Bob delivered sailboats along the eastern coast of the United States until he joined E-Systems in 1982.

Bob married his wife of 42 years, Kimberly Anderson, in November 1982 in St. Petersburg where they began to raise their three children: Megan, Courtney and Gordon. In 1992, Bob and his family moved to Tallahassee, FL where he worked at General Dynamics until retirement.

Bob was an avid sailor and sailed in regattas with the St. Petersburg Yacht Club and the St. Petersburg Sailing Association. He was also an avid golfer and golfed frequently with the Sunday Swingers at Killearn Country Club and the Big Bend Senior Golf Association. Bob always looked forward to and enjoyed his summers in Maine with his family. He also greatly enjoyed coaching his children in youth soccer. Bob was well-known for his stories, robust laugh, spirited debates, and love for Florida State football and science fiction.

He will be profoundly missed by his family: wife, Kimberly Flack; daughter Megan Flack; daughter Courtney (Adam) Starling; son Gordon Flack; granddaughter Clarissa Starling whom he called his princess; and several extended family members. Bob was preceded in death by his parents and brother, James “Jim” Flack.

A celebration of Bob’s life will be held at a later time at his happy place in Maine. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Bob’s memory may be directed to the American Cancer Society or the Alzheimer’s Project.
