FREDERICK CARRAGHER Obituary
Frederick J. Carragher, of Pittsburgh, said "It's About Time" on January 24, 2018. He was the husband of the late Marian Carragher; father of Frederick J. (Mandy) Carragher III, and Jeffrey M. (Lynn) Carragher; grandfather of Katherine, Andrew, Ryan, and Lauren; as well as "Uncle Fred" to many family and friends. From his early involvement in Mt. Lebanon Soccer Association, coaching many kids in his community, to his most recent tenure on the board at the Beadling Club, he made a lasting impact on many lives. The stories and memories told around the campfire will live on forever. Family and friends will be received on Saturday, January 27, from 6-9 p.m. and Sunday, January 28, 2018, 1-5 p.m. at the JEFFERSON MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, INC., 301 Curry Hollow Rd., Pleasant Hills, 15236. A Blessing Service will be held on Monday, January 29, 2018, at 11:30 a.m. in the funeral home chapel.

As a child, Fred was always someone I looked forward to seeing. His kindness was limitless towards my parents and he was continuously willing to give them a hand without a second thought. Fred was the kind of person who, even from a young age, I knew would have given you his shirt off his back if you had needed it. Even if it's been such a very long time now since I've last spoken to him, I always remember him for his friendly greetings every time I'd see him, waving up from the back porch and listening to my young self chatter away. For the pit stops our dog would gladly take up there to greet him. For the faith he had in me to trust me with his granddaughter when she would come to visit and the joy that gave me to have had that time with her. And for the way he was always the first to jump in and help with anything and everything. Thank you so much both for all you ever did for my parents and for all the good memories. The neighborhood really hasn't been the same without you. The world won't be the same without you. You've touched so many lives. I truly hope you knew that. Thank you again.
And to all whom knew Fred and loved him, I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Deepest sympathy to the family on the loss of a good coach and a wonderful human being. Fred was gung-ho about sports but never let that get in the way of what was right and fair and having a good time.
May your happy memories help you deal with this loss.

Fred, Jeff and families, I am so sorry for your loss. You know your Dad was one of my favorite people and he and your mom made me so welcome and comfortable when I moved to Mt Lebanon. I just learned of your Dad's passing today, and I am not home, but in Rome. I will have a toast to him and your mother! Love to you all!

Fred, so sorry for your loss, I had only met your father one time and he made myself and my son feel right at home at camp "Its about Time". Know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
