John Flanagan died on June 25. His obituary is here. The obituary says in part relevant to his DOJ Tax service:
He clerked for a U.S. Tax Court judge, and in 1968 joined the United States Department of Justice as a prosecuting attorney in the Tax Division. He tried cases across the United States, always intrigued that so many people from Cincinnati he met in Washington wanted to return home.
My database indicates that he was in a Civil Trial Section from 1970-1974 which may be incorrect given the description in the obituary. (The reference to prosecuting suggests he may have been in the Criminal Section; moreover, in entering information about Civil Trial Sections, I am usually more specific (Northern, Southern, Western), so my information may have been incomplete or wrong.)
