I'm sorry that I never got to meet Col.Peter McCarthy..when he was still with us..I met and interviewed his father..Jack McCarthy..a local NYC based radio & tv broadcaster, former radio actor,co-founder of WPIX TV Ch.11 in NYC and the third & last mc of"The Popeye Show" as"Capt.Jack"..I wished that I could have told him that his dad loved to tell me how proud he was of his son's accomplishments and that he was proud to have his son and grandson..Mr.Michael McCarthy walked with him up NYC's...

Scott Weeker cdd add me across a 1970 photo of Pete, Scott, Bernie Carey and my family. Here´s to you friend. Rick Koskella

I apologize for the tardy message but only learned of Pete´s passing today. Peter was a wonderful class and squadron mate during my year at Vance AFB Class 7401. I still recall his wedding day and that weekend spending time with his Dad, and in addition watching his appetite for escargot on Friday nights during flight school. Too absent friends, less we forget. Yo. Mike Withem

Upbeat Pete; none finer were ever born. Thanks, Pete, for blessing my life with your friendship.

Pete and I were roommates at the Academy. He always had a great positive attitude and was a genuine force of nature. We will miss him.

Pete was one great human being - he did have a great zest for life. Always enjoyed running into him at SWA. My condolences to his family.

For our first active duty assignment after USAFA, Peter and I were roommates at pilot training at Vance AFB in Oklahoma. Pete always brought a positive attitude and sense of humor throughout all of the challenges we faced. He was definitely one of the "Good Guys" and will always be fondly remembered. My wife Shelley was friends with Pete before I met her. Michael, I met your Dad when I was a Freshman in college. He, Rick Koskella and Bernie Carey were great friends of mine. We spent a lot...

So sorry to hear about Pete's passing. I have many happy memories of our year at Vance in UPT, and enjoyed bumping into him at BWI a few years ago. He will be missed!
