Family Members:

Gerald "Jerry" Kenneth Flagg, 91, of West Bloomfield, lived his life to the fullest until October 16, 2024.

Son of Kenneth and Anne Flagg, brother of Harry (Lynn) and Ingrid (Bud), and loving husband to Marlene and then Maxine. He was the dear partner of Barbara Kovan. Jerry was a proud father of Diane (William) Goldstein, Sarah Flagg, and Bill (Chelsea) Flagg. He adored his grandchildren: Marlee, Jenna, Quincy, Olive, and Pearl.

A man of many passions (and strong opinions), Jerry was smart, loving, and always ready to share whatever book he had most recently devoured. He was a bridge-playing legend and a staunch Green Bay Packers fan. His other great loves included Estes Park, Colorado, afternoon naps, root beer floats, and Old Fashioneds.

He was born in Germany, and after fleeing the Nazis, grew up in Wisconsin. He studied Engineering at Cornell and then Law at Detroit College of Law. He eventually retired from the practice of law and fine-tuned his bridge game, surrounded himself with books, and glowed about his children and grandchildren.

Thanks, Jerry/Dad/Opa, for being our biggest fan—and for always keeping things interesting.
