Obituary for Robert Loren Flannigan
Robert (Bob) Loren Flannigan, a longtime resident of Cosmopolis, WA, passed away on Friday, April 1, 2016 at his residence. He was 81.

Bob enjoyed fishing, bowling, building bird houses and generally puttering around his garage. He also enjoyed coaching for his children and grandchildren’s teams. Bob and Joan were avid followers and supporters of their children’s, grandchildren’s, niece’s and nephew’s sporting and music events. They were fixtures at Pioneer Park long after their family outgrew the fields.

He is also survived by his brother Dennis Caruthers of Hoquiam, WA and sister Patricia Wilson, also of Hoquiam.
