MCCULLOUGH, J.F., III &Quot;FLINT&Quot; Passed away peacefully at home on July 3, 2013 after a valiant battle with cancer. A true original, he will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Born in Jacksonville, TX in 1945 to J. Fred, Jr. and Vera McCullough, he experienced serious allergies and asthma in the damp climate, prompting the family move to Albuquerque in 1950. He thrived in this dry land, graduating from Sandia High, attending Eastern New Mexico University and eventually following his father into a career in flooring sales. Achieving rapid success in the field, Flint owned several retail and commercial flooring stores, the most recent being The Carpet Company on Second Street NW. A consummate salesman, Flint had a keen fascination with people and their stories, as evidenced by his vast collection of friends from all walks of life. Flint was passionate about golf and sought to play rounds with friends on many courses across the country. He also loved basketball, and not only organized and coached a semi-pro team in his earlier years, but went on to be a lifelong, dedicated supporter of Lobo Basketball. In the latter stages of his life, he travelled more frequently, playing golf from coast to coast, enjoying beach vacations in Mexico with family and friends, and experiencing many other travel adventures. His strong exterior belied his heart full of compassion, which led him to countless acts of kindness and generosity. He particularly loved helping young people achieve their dreams and sponsored several aspiring pro golfers over the years. As business demanded less of his time, he invested even more in his family and friends, spending time with his children and grandchildren, siblings, nieces and nephews. "Uncle Flint" became the source of many great stories. Flint is survived by a large family who loved him, including his children, J. Fred, III, Dustin, Melissa (Cox), Brooke (Zirlin) and Cheyanne, grandchildren Logan and Keegan Cox, brother, Tom, who is a longtime partner in The Carpet Company, and sister, Marti Wolf. He will be greatly missed by them all, as well as by their spouses, his numerous nieces and nephews, and a host of friends. A Celebration of Life complete with his beloved mariachis will be held later in the month, for more information please email flint@coxcreative.com. In lieu of flowers or other tributes, the family suggests donations to the J.F. McCullough Memorial Fund at any branch of New Mexico Bank & Trust. Donations will be distributed to the New Mexico Cancer Society and The Lobo Club.
