Michael Flaherty
Michael Flaherty, 77, of Arlington, MA, passed away on August 13, 2024. Born on July 21, 1947, in Somerville, MA.
Michael was a longtime employee of the MBTA, where he worked as a train starter. His colleagues remember him not only for his dedication to his role but also for his vibrant personality that made every interaction memorable.
Known for his humor and boisterous laughter, Michael was the life of every gathering. He had a profound love for socializing, enjoying time with his friends and family, who were central to his life. An avid fan of all Boston sports teams, Michael’s spirited discussions about the latest game were a common joy. His favorite meal was lobster, which he savored during many of the special moments shared with loved ones.
Michael is survived by his eight children and many grandchildren, who will miss him deeply.
At this time, there will be no services. His family cherishes the outpouring of love and support from all who knew Michael.
