Dennis James McCarthy's Obituary
Dennis J. McCarthy, 67, of Elizabeth Township, passed peacefully of natural causes on Monday, January 31st, surrounded by his family. Beloved son of the late Emma McCarthy and the late James McCarthy. He was preceded in death by his elder brother, James McCarthy. He is survived by his sisters Ruth Pyszniak (Richard), Emma Pekarovich, his brother Kevin (Marilyn), many nieces and nephews and his friend and partner, Gary Kaminski. We are especially grateful to Heidi Hamilton, who selflessly donated Dennis a kidney in his hour of need that made such a big difference in his quality of life.
Dennis was passionate about Education, service to the community and was an active member of the Lions organization. He was a tireless advocate for animal welfare and in helping the less fortunate.
Visitation will be held Sunday, February 5th, from 2pm until 8pm at the JEFFERSON MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, INC., 301 Curry Hollow Road, 15236. A Lions Service will take place at 3:30pm in the visitation room.
