1923 - 2017
1923 to 2017 Left this life in peace and with dignity on Wednesday, May 31. Having earned local, national and inter-national acclaim for his automobile businesses, Wally McCarthy was known as an ethical, audacious and self-made businessman. He was that, and so much more to those that knew him....

Walley was one of the nicest people I ever worked for, I find myself writing too many of these lately. I always looked forward to my day at work at the old lindahl Oldsmobile.

I'm very sorry to hear about Walley. Our prayers are with you all. When I met him for the first time, he was a very nice man. We will be thinking of you at this time.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle Wally. My mother, Arlys, was his sister. Some of my earliest memories are of him. Those were the days of visiting family on Sunday afternoons, so I have so many wonderful memories of being with him and my cousins.
I remember the day he took my family to see his first dealership. Little did we know of the great success he was to achieve. I have always been very proud of his many accomplishments.
Two special memories: Uncle Wally teaching...
