To the entire McCarthy family—I couldn’t stop thinking about your father during this hurricane that hit Siesta Key and when I searched for him on FB and couldn’t find him…..
My name is Melissa Rowley (Warren and Jo Rowley’s daughter) who were dear friends of your parents.
Your parents were the best and I adored them—they came to my wedding in OH and I have some great pictures of them. If someone in the family could please send an email address to mrowley@marageinc.com I can email them to you!
Your father lived a long wonderful life and now he is with Pat —I'm sure he will so missed—he loved his children and grandchildren so. 😘

My condolences to Daniel's family. I first met Dan when he was promoted to the position of Vice President of NCR for the Retail Systems Division. I was one of his employees assigned as a specialist to the Department Store Marketing department under his management. He was my boss’s boss and over time and several promotions I reported directly to him. I never had a greater boss or leader at NCR. He was my teacher, mentor and over time became my friend. He could be a tough taskmaster but, he was always honest, fair and found the best solution to any problem.
He once told me his most important job activity was "solving problems"; he said, "I look forward to problems every day because that is when I get an opportunity to do my best work - solving the problem." I have never forgotten that advice and it has served me well over the years. His ability to balance our company's objectives with our customers interests was unparalleled. I pray the “Irish blessing” came true for Dan; "May your soul be in Heaven a half-hour before the devil knows you're dead. He deserves no less!
Rest in peace Dan McCarthy.

I'm sorry for the loss of your Father but I'm glad he was at peace with his decision to be under Hospice care. I mostly remember him traveling for weeks and sometimes months to visit his family, making a big loop from Florida up to Maryland and Ohio and back to Florida. Probably some other places in between. I was amazed that he did all that driving. But, family was important to him. I remember him spending an hour or more talking to Colleen on the phone pretty much on a weekly basis. I'm sorry you list both Colleen abd your Dad in tge same year. And, I know it's hard to loose both of your parents. Try to remain close to each other as siblings.
