Arthur Glynn, former FBI agent

NATICK -- Arthur L. Glynn was a professor of accounting with an unusual background -- he had once been an FBI agent.

His children were intrigued, but ''he never really talked about it," said one of his daughters, Kristin Glynn of Natick.

Mr. Glynn, of Natick, died Saturday at St. Patrick's Manor in Framingham. He was 89.

A former chairman of the accounting department at the Carroll School of Management at Boston College, Mr. Glynn was a ''city boy," his daughter said. He was born in Boston and attended Boston Latin High School, graduating in 1936. He attended Boston College and Boston College Law School and received a master's in business administration from Boston University in 1948.

Mr. Glynn, who, his daughter said, ''didn't look like a guy who would have a gun," was stationed in New York City with the FBI.

He was later transferred to Sioux Falls, S.D., as punishment for not going to J. Edgar Hoover's yearly gathering of FBI agents in Washington, said his daughter. It was in Sioux Falls that he met his future wife, Fern M. (Matthews), who was a clerk for the FBI at the time. She died last year.

Mr. Glynn left the FBI to pursue a career in teaching because he was tired of being transferred from place to place and wanted to spend more time with his family, his daughter said.

Mr. Glynn taught at BC for 45 years. The Rev. James A. Woods, dean of the College of Advancing Studies at Boston College, recalled him as an ''extremely caring person He gave his all to everything he did. He was an exceptionally capable teacher and knew all of his students. He kept in contact with them after they graduated."

Mr. Glynn also ran his own law firm.

After retiring in 1991, Mr. Glynn liked to keep up with current affairs. ''He always knew what was going on in the world," said his daughter. ''He was very into the stock market."

Mr. Glynn had lived in Natick for 56 years.

Besides his daughter, Mr. Glynn leaves two other daughters, Karen M. Duplessis of Framingham and Katharine A. Griffey of Southborough; three sons, A. Lawrence of Tucson, John M. of Dudley, and Steven J. of Shrewsbury; and many grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

He was the brother of the late John F. Glynn and Mary Frances Conlon and grandfather of the late Andrew Glynn.

A funeral Mass will be said at 10 a.m. tomorrow in St. Matthew's Church in Southborough. Burial is to be in Glenwood Cemetery, South Natick.
