Memorial website in the memory of your loved one

With fond memories we remember our loved one, Brian McCarthy.  Brian was born in New York on January 3, 1943 and left us on January 19, 2005 at the age of 62.  His generous heart and cheerful outlook brought many smiles to us during the time that we spent with him.  His caring personality, love for life and his laugh will stay with us forever.  Those of us who were fortunate enough to know Brian take comfort in knowing that the memories will always be with us, that the pain will eventually begin to lessen, and that he will always have a special place in our hearts.
