Patrick Joseph McCarty

While living in Richmond back in 1975 I decided to take up guitar and get into the gigging scene. I had been a singer in a rock n' roll band in high school but had never before taken up an instrument. I looked up Don Warner Music and became a regular customer. It was then I struck up a relationship with Pat. He set me up with a great sound system which I used for several years before the head was lost in an auto accident. Not long after that he set me up with a Guild D50, which continues to...

I knew him, we both went to W&L..one time he came out to the house on willow oaks rd in richmond to play guitar with the rest of our W&L band- we were rehersing for a 10th reunion in 1980...I asked him to do PR for my original music, but he declined, even though he had great connections...I even auditioned in the early 80's as drummer with his band on a snowy night in some warehouse on the southside...he said he was ready to tour, and offered me the chance, but I decided not to go on the road...

We Love You Cackie

Cackie, I was so sad to hear of Patrick´s passing and I hope you are doing ok. Several of us have been thinking of you and talking about our love for Patrick. I will never forget him, our talks, his sweet smile and kissing him on the forehead every evening and morning. Praying for your comfort and peace. Love, Nurse Erin

We are so sorry to read about the death of Patrick. We haven't seen Patrick in years but treasure the time we shared with him back in the early to mid 70s. Please accept our deepest condolences. Diane and Allen Morris

Cackie, I will miss Patrick. We shared a lot in common about music and literature and food. Glad to have met you, both, in 2015. I enjoyed "Giant" and laughed when he called me "Midget" and his favorite "HoiPolloi" friend. He introduced me to DimSum at Full Kee. I am glad to be asked into his colorful and eventful life. He was so full of life and loved you so much! He will be missed!

Dear Cackie and family, the world has lost a beautiful spirit and a heart that loved all of us. We have so many treasured memories to enjoy. My heart goes out to Cackie who loved and cared for Patrick for so many years. Thank you for your kindness and understanding. Much love, Nancy
