Deepest sympathy to the family of Tony. We worked together at Harland Clarke and whenever we saw each other, we shared a smile and a laugh. Tony was a member of a good team, and he was a good man. May he find peace and joy in those many mansions. Best wishes always, Vickie Degges
I worked with Tony at Harland Clarke. When I came back from vacation, and learned that Tony had pass, it was a shock. I spoke with him before I left as I often do in the mornings, when he is coming in and I'm leaving. His smile will be missed. Rest well Tony. My deepest condolences to the Flake family.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of Tony Flake. My name is Randy Poole. Tony and I were coworkers at Harlandclarke for a number of years. I didn't know very much about him other than the fact that he was a very friendly person and he knew and loved the Lord. I'd never go a day without seeing and talking with Tony. He had a infectious smile that just made you laugh. It was a pleasure to have met him. And even more, knowing that he now walks the streets of gold. His passing sent shockwaves through out the company. And he will be truly missed. But he left us with great memories. God bless you, his family. He was a good friend.
I pray for the God of Love, Peace and Righteousness be with the Flake family as we release Dr Flake to his upward coming. Amen
Tony we will miss you but your brothers and sisters anxiously awaits your arrival to your rosie future throughout eternity and receiving the love and kindness of Yahweh Elohim Through Yahshua the Messiah. Peace,Joy and Mercy in Dr. Kinley. Love The Anderson & The Richardson Family.

To the family: My friend Tony Flake who I have known over 55 years has completed his work here. We will all miss him so much. I can say he is not lost. We know where he is by the work he has done here. Marvin Sapp says you saw the best in me. Tony saw the best in everyone and would let you know. All his life he has put others first. To the family what a great man that did his job while he walked this earth. I say again to the family he is not lost. Tony is gone home now. It is okay to move when you have a home to go to. Think about who he will be walking and talking with. Again, it is okay to move when you have a home to go to. Willie Williams Durham NC

My sincere condolences to the entire Flake family. It saddened me to hear of the passing of Tony. Growing up knowing Tony, I always found him to be a good and respectful young man. Then some years later in our adult life he became my neighbor. We would see each other in passing going in and out of the neighborhood and he would always be very polite and flash that big smile. I pray that God will give the family peace during this time of your loss. One thing is for sure we all have to face this day. All we can hope for is that we will be ready to meet the master. RIP Tony! Lorraine Whitworth Jackson

When I heard of your passing, my heart dropped, and then I remembered your laughter, and jokes but what I remember most is our singing together for so many years as Divinity, Brotherly Love and then Deep Perfection. Our harmony was pure perfection. Fly with the Ancestors my friend. My prayers are with the family. Love Strick.
