Terence McGarragle Obituary

MCGARRAGLE, Dr. Terence A. - Son of the late Cornelius and Margaret McGarragle passed away peacefully at St. Michael's Hospital on November 10, 2011 after a courageous battle with a chronic illness. He was a devoted husband to Margaret Mary ("the love of his life") and a proud and caring father to Sean (Adrienne) and Katie. He was a loving brother to Gerard (Denise) and their children, James, Kaitlin and Kevin and the late Maurice (Glenda) and their children, Olivia, Torrie and Laine. He will be dearly missed by his extended Beamish family - John, Paul, Peter, Cathy, Mark, Stephen and Patricia and their spouses and children. The loss of Dr. McGarragle will also be felt by other relatives and friends in the McGarragle, Joyce, Beamish, Fenn, O'Boyle, Carr, Sullivan and Rose families. Finally, the family of Dr. McGarragle wishes to especially acknowledge the many clients/friends of Metro Animal Hospital who made it possible for him to share his passion, insights, and surgical skills in Veterinary Medicine while helping people over the last 30 years. Resting at the Paul O'Connor Funeral Home, 1939 Lawrence Ave. E. (between Warden and Pharmacy), on Sunday, November 13th, from 3-5 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral Mass will be on Monday, November 14th at 11 a.m. at St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church (Broadview and Gerrard). Interment at Holy Cross Cemetery (Yonge and Hwy. 7). In lieu of flowers, a donation to your local food bank would be appreciated.

Dear McGarragle Family: I am very sorry to hear about Dr. McGarragle's passing. I am very particular about my vet and was very pleased when I found him. There are lots of vets, but very few people who really care passionately about what they do. With his warm heart and gentle spirit, every pet that walked through his door was made to feel special. He will be missed. Thank you for looking after my cat, Gato. RIP.

To the McGarragle family, I wish to express my deepest sympathies for your loss. I respected Dr. McGarrigle immensely and sent dozens of people his way to look after their animals including several family members. EVERYONE I sent regarded him highly and appreciated greatly his skill, help and forthright manner regarding the care of their beloved pets. I myself had the honor of helping out at the clinic on several occasions and dated one of his technicians for several years and for that happenstance alone, I will be eternally grateful.
He will be sorely missed, by man and creature alike.

My condolences are with Terry's family. He was always available to us (night or day) when our puppies were whelping and he would often make house calls to simplify things for us. His talents and compassion were welcomed by many in Toronto's east end.

Mrs. McGarragle and family - I had the pleasure of working for Dr. McGarragle at Metro Animal Hospital and I can say the valuable lessons I learned from him I still remember and use my pets to this day. He was patient and professional – and always put the animals before much else. He was the 'Dr. Doolittle' of the Main and Danforth area and he will be sadly missed by many. My deepest sympathies to you during this time. Teryn Douglas (Brighton, UK)
