Peg, Patrick & Annette, Jim, Maureen, Kathleen and Mary: We are truly blessed to have you as our family. Your husband, your father and my cousin (Clyde), is truly a great man! Dan's quiet, gentle way will be missed by all who knew him. Continue to draw strength and support from each other and from this great family. Know that you are in our continued thoughts and prayers. And, find peace in knowing that Dan is resting in God's arms, having a smoke with Bill, doing "something" for Pat and looking out for all of us!
All our love,

Dear McCarthy Family,
Dan was a classmate at CHS. I am very saddened to hear of his passing. He was a class act. I am proud to call him a classmate and friend. He always treated everyone with kindness and respect. I will always remember his smile. It was ever present. I will keep Dan and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolences to all of Dan's family and friend's.even though I haven't seen him in a couple of decades ,I had thought about him only a few days ago. Perhaps that is a testament to his character and the quality of person that he will always be.

Charles Weber

As a member of the Canisius High School community, we will miss a well respected classmate. I have fond memories of Dan, a kind and caring person. As the road rose up to take him, may we find comfort in the good memories of his life. He may have left us early, but to know Dan, is to know his quick wit and smile. That's how I will remember him. To his wife Peggy, his children, and to Dan's immediate and extended family, my heartfelt condolences. Godspeed.

Dearest Peg,
A God Wink happened today. By chance I was at the doctors and I opened the paper and it opened to the obituaries(I never read the paper), and I saw your husbands name, Daniel McCarthy. I thought to myself, it could not be your husband, I was wrong.
I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you and your beautiful family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Most Sincerely,
Mary (Dr. Mary Tederous-Williams)

Dear McCarthy Family,
I am deeply saddened to hear of my CHS classmate’s passing. On hearing the news I immediately thought of Dan’s constant smile and was reminded of it by his picture here. Though it has been too many years since I saw Dan, I’ve always thought of him as that kind and caring friend who would always be there for you, even helping me cover for the dent that magically appeared on my dad’s car the night of senior prom … when his car load of classmates and dates bumped my car load of classmates and dates at the Delaware traffic circle. Please know that all of you in Dan’s family will be in our thoughts and prayers, and know that the memories of this warm and loving man will soon outweigh the pain in your hearts today. God’s speed Danny!

Jim and Family,

My thoughts and heart are with you during this sad time.

I heard an Irish saying on the news today that I want to share with you: "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal."

Know that you are loved, Jimbo. It’s clear from these messages that people from all over the country have written to you and your family that you have many shoulders to lean on.

I am very saddened to hear of Dan's passing. He was a great guy and always a very friendly and helpful co-worker during the times we worked together at Noth American Health Plans in Amherst, NY.

When I first started at NAHP 8 years ago, Dan went out of his way to introduce me to others, and always offered his help in any way possible. I am sure he will be missed by all who met him.

My condolences go out to Dan's family and friends.

Peggy,

There are no words to convey for the tragic loss of Dan. When I heard he passed away, a part of me went with him. Even though we have not stayed in contact as we have years ago, Dan has always been a good friend that I will never forget. I have many fond memories of growing up with him and that is what I am always going to remember him by. I am truly sorry for you and your family but I know you are a strong person and will find a way to get through this terrible time. I am sorry I can't be there but Suzanne and I pass along our condolenses and our prayers are with you.

Dear McCarthy Family -
I am so sorry to learn of Dan's passing. I had a great visit with Paul and Jean at Hanford Bay during a recent, short stay and no mention was made of Dan being ill so I am assuming that this was sudden and not expected. After losing Pat earlier this year, this comes a double blow to you all. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
With love and deepest sympathy. Ed Cottrell
