Robert Feder of the Chicago Sun-Times described him as "an avuncular Irishman with a jaunty bow tie [and] a twinkle in his eye".[1] A six-time Emmy winner,[2] Flynn started his career in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin in 1934.[3] Flynn worked in Chicago from 1941 until his death at a hospital there from internal hemorrhaging in 1983 at age 67.[3] From 1953 to 1968, he was an anchor for WBBM-TV. He then joined Joel Daly as co-anchor at WLS-TV, and by 1971 the pair had become Chicago's highest-rated broadcasting team,[1] retaining the lead in Chicago news ratings through 1979. Flynn, a history and English major, graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 1939 and received the distinguished alumni award in 1978.[4] Notes1. ^1 Robert Feder.
