Flickinger, born on April 10, 1960, to Charles and Joan (Markham) Flickinger, Sr., in Middletown, Conn., served with the U.S. Marines from 1978 to 1982 and was a lifetime member of the Lake Carmel Fire Department.
Married to Charlotte Berwind since 1996, Flickinger worked as a registered nurse at St. John's Riverside Hospital in Yonkers.
