Thomas H. Flanders

Thomas H. Flanders, 88, of Marshfield, passed away on September 3, 2020. Beloved husband of the late Susan M. (Merriman) Flanders and father of the late Patricia Flanders, he leaves a daughter, Julie Flanders, and son Thomas H. Flanders, III, of Hopkinton, a brother, John Flanders of Connecticut, and a sister, Jean Flanders of San Diego, CA.

Mr. Flanders graduated from Boston University in 1954 with a Bachelor of Science degree. After graduation he served a tour of duty with the U.S. Air Force as a 1st Lieutenant. He spent the entirety of his career in Purchasing Management with the Honeywell Computer Division and the Bose Corp. in Framingham. At Honeywell, he awarded the first contract to start Intel as a computer chip entity. His career at Bose spanned 22 years where he was a member of the National Association of Purchasing Management.

Tom took pride in the Agganis Arena at Boston University, as Harry Agganis was his SAE college fraternity brother. They both received their diplomas on the same morning, and Harry had the good fortune to hit his first home run for the Boston Red Sox that very afternoon.
