Welcome to the Flaherty Family Website
On this website we celebrate the life and times of Patrick Fox and Beverly Ann Flaherty, their children, (Pady & Dennis, Terri & Jeff, Dan & Lynn, and David), their parents, (Glen & Tebby), siblings’ (Dick & Alice, Buck & Janette, Judie & Tom, Ron & Ann) and a passel of cousins and grandkids. This family, and the collective moments captured here, were woven together right from the start. Our website is for the next generation. We want to remember, share and preserve the stories of our lives, as it is a true American story and one that continues. We are blessed Patrick Fox left us with a treasure trove of writings, photos, videos, and mementos. He was a memory trailblazer, constantly capturing all family moments. Included are Patrick’s autobiography, video biography, family movies and tons of great photos. Please send me any of yours you would like to include, and please share and download for your families. Send any and all my way and I will upload. Before Patrick’s death on May 24, 2010, he attended a yearly silent Catholic retreat for 40 years. It always took place the weekend before Thanksgiving, at the Demontreville Jesuit Retreat Center in Lake Elmo, Minnesota. After each retreat he would send to his family his long hand notes, along with a letter to each of his kids and a love letter to his beloved “Princess” Beverly. Dad always said, the best decision he ever made was marrying Beverly. We have 37 years of those notes and letters here. Other mementos are of his accomplishments as a son, husband, father, lawyer and most importantly a Catholic
So welcome.

Love, Pady
