“It is with great sadness to announce the death of Maurice Vincent O’Flynn, born in Cardiff, Wales on June 12, 1938. Maurice died peacefully at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, on November the 5th surrounded by his loving family and friends. He left behind his dearest family, Ryan, Pamela, Stephen, Natalie, Ellen and Claire. Maurice will join his deceased family; mother Iris, sister Paula, brother Bernard, and nephew Andrew, in Rest Bay Beach in PorthCawl, Wales, where they spent many wonderful summers.” – Chef Rolf Knecht
“Maurice O’Flynn was an extraordinary character who had a big heart and this heart was for his family and the World of Chefs! After his competition feats which were many, he realized that the heroes of these events who put in a lot of work for their countries were near forgotten and he wanted to do something about it: ChampChefs was created and is now his legacy. In our professional world, chefs receive a number of accolades, which are rewarded in various ways, Maurice did not look for these rewards, and the rewards he got were sharing great memories with the world. I feel blessed to have known the man and to be able to call him a friend – rest in peace mate.”- Rick Stephen, Director of Kitchens, SATS.
