Kenneth John Flack Sr., 87, of Warren, Ohio, passed away peacefully with his wife by his side on Saturday evening, August 23, 2025, at St. Joseph Hospital.
Ken was born on January 24, 1938, in Butler, Pennsylvania, and was the only son of Clyde and Ann (Uram) Flack. A January 1956 graduate of Warren G. Harding High School, he also proudly served in the Army Reserve from 1961 to 1967. He learned the trade of electrician and became a member of IBEW Local 573 in 1964.
He was a dedicated electrician until his retirement in 1996, and he loved his craft. He enjoyed sharing stories of the homes and buildings he had worked on and especially remembered the times he placed the Christmas lights on top of the Trumbull County Courthouse.
Beyond his career, Ken enjoyed gardening, fishing, golfing, traveling, and making wonderful memories on ski trips and beach vacations. He was a member at Blessed Sacrament Church, where he volunteered on the grounds committee. Ken also had a passion for making wine, starting from hand-picking grapes to bottling it, and then sharing and enjoying it with friends and family.
Ken’s greatest joy was his family. He cherished every moment with his wife of 61 years, Carol (Bochniak) Flack, whom he married on September 7th, 1963, and his sons, Ken (Dorene Wojcik) of Cortland and Doug (Nadine) of Phoenix, AZ. His grandchildren, Lily, Annabel, and Blaine, held a special place in his heart, and he loved catching up with cousins, neighbors, and friends.
