I have worked together with Tim McCarthy for over twenty years. Throughout those years I have learned many things about his family. Most importantly, I have learned that the McCarthy family is filled with love and that at the center of that love was his mother Joanne. She will be greatly missed by Tim and his siblings, but she will also continue to guide them throughout their lives with her wisdom and kindness. May she rest in peace.

Joanne McCarthy was known to me for the most part as Gail’s mom, and featured in a multitude of wonderful stories over the years. I met her when she came to our immigration law office masquerading as someone in search of a green card and demanding to see a lawyer named Gail McCarthy who had been recommended to her! She completely stole my heart away with that prank. My heartfelt sympathy goes to her whole family at this time of loss.. My thoughts are with you all. Gilli Stewart

To the entire McCarthy Family,
My heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your Mom. My fondest memories growing up revolve around time spent at your house. Both your Mom and Dad were amazing people and I always felt so warm and welcome there.
Even though my Mom has been gone for 9 years I still go to pick up the phone to share both good and bad news and then I remember that she is gone. May you cling to each other in the time of your loss.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to Patti Gail and all the McCarthy family on the passing of your mother. Also sorry to read that your dad and Dan passed as well. I was fortunate to know all of the McCarthy clan during the Barnabas, Rice , college to post college years. Your mom and dad were so nice during the baseball coaching days and spent plenty of time coaching and dropping me off at home. I still remember riding my bike to your home on walden parkway. I will add all of you to my long list of people who helped me along the way and now need to be remembered.
God bless Mike
