With tremendous sadness, we announce the passing of our leader, company patriarch, and the last of the original Flood Brothers, William K. ‘Mike’ Flood.
Mike, the last of the 3rd generation of Floods active in the business, passed peacefully over the weekend surrounded by his family to assume his foreseen place in the hereafter with his beloved wife, Carole.
Mike leaves behind an unmatched legacy as a waste industry pioneer and leader. More importantly, Mike leaves a life lived to its fullest as a father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Mike was a devout Catholic and had unending faith in God. He faithfully attended the liturgy and found solace in the rosary.
Generations 4, 5, and future generations of the Flood family will continue to be strengthened by the lessons of Mike’s leadership, his faith, his beautiful stories, and his endlessly positive attitude. We will hold these lessons that Mike gifted to us in our hearts as we honor his hard-won legacy, each day in our work here at Flood Brothers.
Mike Flood was a man who was truly larger than life, a man who made everyone feel like the only person in the room when he spoke with you, a man that loved his company and his employees fiercely, and a leader we will miss profoundly. We take solace knowing that although there is a hole in our world where Mike Flood once lived, his spirit will live in all of us, every day.
