In Loving Memory

Flack, Victor Le-Roi

  Victor Le-Roi Flack, 1934 – 2021

Victor Le-Roi Flack, 87, passed away on Friday, September 24, 2021, surrounded by his loving children and extended family members.
Beloved husband of the late Edith I. Flack (nee Udall); loving father of Karen (William) Johnson, Shelley (Steven) Baum, John (Michael Marvaso) Flack, Janie (Kenneth) Hamai, Heidi (Douglas) Lenger and Joseph (Kevin Cunningham) Flack; adoring grandfather of 26 and great-grandfather of 21; dear brother of the late JoAnn (Cornelius) Moelling. Our dearest brother-in-law, uncle, great-uncle, cousin and friend to many.
Vic was born in St. Louis, Missouri on February 20, 1934, to Esther Sale and Victor William Flack. His family and neighborhood were close-knit, with extended family living in the home next door, including his grandparents. He graduated from nearby Beaumont High School, where he made lifelong friends.
While attending the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy studying Engineering, he was recruited by the Navy. Vic served as a pilot during the Korean Conflict. He was stationed on the Island of Oahu, where he met his lifelong sweetheart, Edith Idella Udall.
Edith (Ebe) and Victor were married in Phoenix, Arizona on August 5, 1957. After completing his service in the Navy, Vic and Ebe settled in St. Louis where he continued his studies at Washington University from which he graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering. He was employed in the engineering field for his entire work career, most of which was spent at Carboline, the firm he joined before graduation, and from which he retired after over forty years.
Before marrying Edith, Vic joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A year and a half later, they were sealed in the Mesa Arizona Temple. Victor remained a faithful member of the Church throughout his life. He served in many capacities in his community and in the Church, including many years in various roles in the St. Louis Temple, service that was particularly meaningful to him.
Victor enjoyed playing golf, rescuing dogs and enjoying their companionship, fishing, boating and camping. He maintained a private pilot’s license and always enjoyed aviation in all its forms. Family history was a passion for Victor. Through many years of research, he was able to trace his roots back many, many generations. Above all, he adored his family and doted on his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his dear wife, Edith, who passed in 1998. In his later years, Vic led a quiet, simple life surrounded by a multitude of friends, neighbors, family and pets who were all precious to him.
Funeral and interment will be at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery and will be held in private in accordance with his ever-modest wishes.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Humane Society of Missouri, one of Vic’s favorite charities, or to an organization of your choice.

  3. Dear Flack family, our prayers are with you as we are so sorry to hear of Vic’s passing. He was one of the best and has left a lasting impact on our St. Louis paint industry. Over the years he served us in numerous board and committee positions, and was the President of the St. Louis Paint & Coatings Association in 1983. We have very fond memories of Vic and Edith at our May & Christmas parties, and of course of Vic at our golf outings and infamous annual BBQ. We will miss him.

  7. My family knew your parents from attending church at the Clayton ward. I believe my Mom Ruth Emig were very good friends for many years. Your Mom once taught teachers in R.S. how to teach and I was one of them. They made such a great couple. Will be missed for sure. Prayers for your family. Jeanne Emig Yates

  13. I always enjoyed seeing dear Bro. Flack surrounded by his beautiful family at Church. He was always so proud of each of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was often called upon to narrate our special Christmas and Easter programs at Church because he had a wonderful voice for the part and spoke from his heart. He left a beautiful legacy of faith, love of God, love of country and love of his family.

  23. Our sympathies to all of the members of the Flack family. I know I’m a little late in writing. Please forgive me. Since my middle name is Flack, I have always called Vic “Uncle Vic”. However, as it turns out, we are not closely related as far as I can tell. Nevertheless, I have felt close to Brother Flack for many years. I visited regularly with Edith and Victor for years and lived a couple of blocks away. There was always a welcoming spirit in the home. I worked with him in the temple for several years as well. I have many fond memories.

    Blessings to Victor and Edith who are now, finally, reunited. We love you both.
