RIP Pap...
John A. (Alexander) Flot
John was a loving husband, father, grandfather & friend who will never be forgotten and will be forever missed. John was married to Marie in 1957 – they were approaching an unheard of 53 years of marriage this year. They had one son, John, or Bubba, and he married Annette, who came to be more of their daughter than a daughter in law, especially to Pap. John and Annette had two girls, Nina and Carlee, and they were everything to Pap and he was everything to them. Even if you were extended family, family by marriage, a friend of the family, neighbor, or a distant cousin, Pap still loved you and you were family to him. Everyone called him Pap – even if he wasn’t your real Pap. There wasn’t anyone who didn’t love him. Pap loved the Pittsburgh Steelers, and was an umpire for a many years for both baseball & softball and a huge sports fan in general. He read the sports section of the newspaper EVERY MORNING. He loved the casino – playing poker – especially when he won! Pap always carried a hankie
around with him in his pocket – Pap’s trademark - and he was the kind of guy to give you anything you needed whether it be helping take your garbage out, fixing something for you or $5. Pap was also a jokester! He prided himself on making people laugh, even if it was because of a dirty joke, in which he’d make his grandkids cover their ears. Pap always had the BEST jokes. Although we are partial, Pap was just a kind soul in general that you wanted to be around. He really was a friend to everyone, and a loyal friend at that. He was the BEST Pap. He was loved by not only his family, but by so many others, and my world won’t be the same without him.
