Robert W. Flint

Robert W. Flint, a lifelong resident of Glastonbury lost his battle with cancer and passed away on Saturday November 20, 2010. Bob was born in Hartford, October 4, 1939 son of the late William E. Flint and Frances M. Villa. Bob’s tremendous love and support for the town will be sorely missed.
