He obtained his Bachelor's degree from St. John's University, and his MBA from Long Island University Roth Graduate School of Business Administration.

Country Village Homeowners' Association; and donated thousands of hours to organizations such as Meals-on-Wheels, the Court Appointed Special Advocate program, Junior Achievement, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, and the Munseetown Federal Credit Union Board of Directors.

He will be greatly missed by countless friends; his wife of over 50 years, Nancy; their children: Melissa

McCarthy of Indianapolis, Scott McCarthy of Augusta, Georgia, Sean McCarthy of Muncie, Marc McCarthy of Yorktown, and Maura McCarthy of Fishers; his brother Bill and sister Marcia in New York; and 14 grandchildren.
