Edward C. Flack, husband of Elizabeth F. (Yost) Flack, died in his Royersford residence on Monday, November 9, 2015. Born in Swedesburg, PA on January 20, 1925, he was the son of the late Paul J. and Anna (Novak) Flack. He attended Upper Merion High School and Spring Garden Institute. He was a member of Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church, Royersford, PA.
A combat veteran of World War II, he was proud of his service with the U.S. Navy in the South Pacific Theater of Operations. Edward worked for Alan Wood Steel Company in Conshohocken, PA for 30 years, until its closing, then worked for SKF Industries in King of Prussia for ten years. Keenly dexterous, he could repair just about anything, from cars and appliances to damaged antiques. He was an avid collector of hand tools who could identify and use every one.

Gary Britcher, Linfield, PA., as well as two sons, Charles E., husband of Susan, Pittsburgh, PA and John C., husband of Sherry, Blandon, PA.
