Edward J. McGinty, our father, our patriarch our hero passed away peacefully on May 12th, 2022, at the age of 88 years old. Predeceased by the love of his life, his wife and his best friend of 59 years, Catherine McGinty (nee: Hogan). Father to Kathleen Hain (Ted Jefferies), Susan Arruda (Eric Arruda) and Edward McGinty II.

Great Grandfather to Jameson, Max, Maiya, Jude and Harry.
Born in Philadelphia in 1933, Ed was a true athlete during his younger years playing football throughout high school, at Iowa State while attending college, and also with his military police unit when he served in Korea. Ed continued to be involved with sports throughout his life, coaching football and baseball while raising his children. After 3 decades of working at the Budd Company, Ed and Kitty retired to a golf course in Florida and Ed spent the winter months playing golf every week throughout his long retirement. If he wasn't golfing, you could usually find him and Kitty on the lake fishing off their pontoon boat.
Our father was excited by life; he dreamed big, and he lived life fully and gratefully. Anyone who knows our father knows his love of God and family was his barometer in life. His strong loving guidance throughout our lives has made our family who we are today. His love knew no bounds. He will forever be in our hearts; he will be greatly missed by his family in Canada, Philadelphia, and Florida, and by the many great friends he met along his way.
Cremation has taken place. A private service will be held to celebrate Ed's long and happy life.
