Dr. McLaughlin was our family physician for many, many years. He made numerous house calls for my family over his long career. I remember going to see him as a child and being soothed by his calm and caring manner. He saved many lives and touched many, many more. He will be greatly missed.

Dr. McLaughlin was a dear man and a wonderful doctor through out my years while growing. As a child I always feared going but never there he could calm your worse fears (and the treats were always a plus). I know he touched many lives and will be greatly missed but the heavens are graced but this wonderful soul who went on before us. May God give your family peace and comfort in your time of loss.

Dear Family and friends of Dr. Mac. So sorry to have missed his funeral. I intend to give a gift to the recommended charity in my family name.

To Dr. McLaughlin’s Family,

Dr. McLaughlin, “DOC” was my family Physician and basketball Coach during the early 60s at St. Jane Frances Parish. I have always respected and admired him for his easy going manner. His patience and kindness to me and my team members is something I will never forget. I will also always remember our trips to and from our games in the back of his blue & white Ford Station Wagon and our stops at Brookwood restaurant on our way back from our games,- where most of the time he treated us all to a burger and an ice cream cone of our choosing. He was a true Gentleman, a great roll model and one of my heroes throughout my life. Our connection and time together is something I will always cherish.

With Deepest Sympathy,
Joseph C. Johnson

DR MCLAUGHIN BECAME OUR FAMILY PHYSICIAN IN 1957 WHEN OUR FAMILY MOVED TO RIVIERA BEACH. HE MADE HOUSE CALLS WHEN WE WERE TO SICK TO GO OUT. I'M SURE THERE ARE NUMEROUS PATIENTS THEY HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF HIM. HE WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST DOCTOR EVER!

To the McLaughlin family and esp. Betty and Anne Marie,

I just found out about your dad's passing and I am very sorry. I would have come to express my condolences otherwise. I still remember standing at Jacobsville Elem. school waiting with you both for Mr. Dillon's bus to come to take us to St. Janes. I am not sure if Laura knows or not, but I will let her know.
I have fond memories of your father visiting with my aunt and uncle making house calls when necessary at times. Dr. Mac was a gracious,
beloved man who will be missed a great deal. My love and sympathy to all of you.

Dear Dr. Mac, family doctor for the years we lived in Pasadena. He would make house calls when I couldn't visit his office. He never failed to have a smile, an encouraging word and a healing touch. Even after his retirement when we would see him out and about, he always knew me by name and smiled and asked about family. Great, great man. Loved him like a father. Thank you Dear Lord for lending this man to us for the while.

We have lost a Dear Great Man. I met Dr. Mac at 8 years old trying out for the St. Jane Frances Basketball Team. I played for Dr. Mac’s St. Jane Frances White Team which won numerous Championships in the 60’s playing in two leagues across the Baltimore Metro Area. I speak for all those young boys lives he touched. Doc was not only a great teacher of the game but a teacher of values. How one conducts himself both on and off the court was something he taught always. His dedication to touching young boys’s lives is something we all are so grateful to him for. Doc was not only my coach, my mentor, my Doctor all these years but also a second Father, and dear friend. We never lost contact after all these years. I am 60 years old today and I still think about all those years with Doc. He saw me raise a family with three sons and was our Doctor all the way through. We were dear friends. I’ll value the time we spent together at the Rotary Club dinners, the trip to the Wildlife Refuge,etc. Doc said not too long ago, he wanted to take my wife and I back to his hometown and show us where he grew up in Pennsylvania. He said months ago, we had to wait until the weather got warmer. I waited but never got the call. Now I know why. Doc, thanks so much not only from me and my family but all those young boys, now grown men, you inspired many years ago. We’ll never forget the sacrifice you made for us. We owe you. Godspeed, Dear Friend. We’ll miss you dearly.

I am a granddaughter of Joyce Burke and Dr. Mac was the closest thing I had to a grandfather growing up. He was loved dearly and will be greatly missed. He was an amazing man.
