Michael Flagg

Michael Flagg, 82, of Sellersville, passed away on Friday, February 14, 2025, at Phoebe in Richland Township.

Born on July 25, 1942, in Bryn Mawr, PA, he was a son of the late Stanley G. and Elizabeth (Nicols) Flagg. Michael will be lovingly remembered by his significant other of twenty-five years: Kathleen Krout; sister: Carol Flagg-Stevens; and nephews: Dean Flagg, Christopher Flagg, and Scott Stevens; and his two dogs: Oskar and Liam.

Following his graduation from The Booth School, Michael went on to take courses from Penn State University. Michael became a businessman. He operated a jewelry repair business in the Philadelphia area.

Michael was known to be a tinkerer who loved a challenge. He often volunteered to fix machines that others considered to be beyond repair. He enjoyed fixing almost anything old and mechanical. He was a member of the West Rockhill Historical Society and he loved to hear and tell stories. He truly enjoyed volunteering at the various historical society fairs.

He was a lifetime member of the Philadelphia Folksong Society and the Chairman of the Food Committee of the Philadelphia Folk Festival for forty years. He was a leader and a role model for thousands of folk festival volunteers. His practical approach to problem solving (for example, introducing volunteers to Alfred Packer and his wilderness cookbook as an alternative to the fest menu) played a big part in his success.

In his spare time, Mike found joy in helping neighbors with various projects and repairs—he was always there when someone needed him (and he really could fix anything). He also loved to exercise his skills as a master gardener.

Michael was a fair-minded man who gave everyone a chance. He was loved by all.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his brother: William Flagg.

Details for a service in the spring will be announced at a later date.

Arrangements are in the care of the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., Quakertown.
