Gerald McCarty Obituary
Gerald J. McCarty, Ph.D.
Gerry grew up in Boston and graduated from Boston College. He received his doctorate in psychology from the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. After he married Eileen Kelly, Gerry moved to Seattle to start a private practice in psychology and raise his family. Gerry loved music and theatre, food and the great outdoors. Most of all, he loved to talk. His humor and wit will be missed by all who knew him.
Survivors include his children, Michael, Kevin (Sharon), and Patty (Bill); their mother, Eileen; 11 grandchildren; his second wife, Dina; and their son, Salvatore. Gerry is also survived by two brothers, John (Elinor) and Fr. Paul McCarty, SJ; two sisters, Joan (Bill) Chaisson and Pat Nally; and numerous nieces and nephews in the Boston area.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m., Saturday, April 2, at Christ the King Church, 117th and Dayton Ave. N, in Seattle. Arrangements by Hoffner Fisher & Harvey, Seattle.
In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to Evergreen Hospice, 12822 120th Way N.E., Kirkland, WA 98034; or to a charity of your choice.

Uncle Gerry-
To the kind of guy who defined one generation for those that came after. A real great guy, I'm sure you've got Saint Peter in stitches. Rest In Peace.

I will always remember the times my family and I shared with him and his family. He was a very kind and wonderful person who gave so much to everyone he crossed paths with. My family and I will miss him dearly.
Just last Sunday evening I sat and shared those good times with Gery. We talked about the trips and all of the things he did with his children and how proud he was of all of them and we talked about all the times we share when he lived across the street from me with his son Mike and the one memory that we just couldn't seem to get away from was how he taught me to make home made Hollandaise for eggs benidict. I will never forget you and will always have these memories.
My heart goes out to the family and all of the freinds Gery touched over the years.

I remember visiting Patty and her family in 1991. I had the opportunity to meet Gerry and I remember he prepared a fantastic dinner and then he shared some of his stories with us. I know he will be missed. My heart goes out to your family.
