Flaherty grew up in a Catholic family in Montreal, and was of part Irish descent.
Those familiar with Flaherty's work as a lawyer noted his dogged determination and a strong work ethic. One colleague, Hamilton lawyer John Soule said, "He is a driven person ... and certainly is prepared to do what is necessary in terms of time and hard work to achieve what he believes is right". He assisted in several volunteer causes, including being the president of the Head Injury Association of Durham Region in Ontario.

His widow, Christine Elliott, is the Progressive Conservative Member of Provincial Parliament for Oshawa--Whitby, east of Toronto and Deputy Leader of the Opposition. The couple lived in Whitby and have triplet sons John, Galen and Quinn, who were born in 1991.

Flaherty died on April 10, 2014 at his home in Ottawa after suffering a heart attack at the age of 64.

A state funeral was held for Flaherty on April 16, 2014 at St. James Cathedral in Toronto.
