Mr. McCarthy was born August 6, 1951 in Providence, Rhode Island. Mr. McCarthy had a 40 year career with the Sherwin-Williams Company which started in Narragansett, Rhode Island as an assistant store manager and was cut short by his illness just recently as he was the Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Director of Global Market Development, based out of the Cleveland, Ohio Headquarters. He, like the Sherwin-Williams logo, which depicts a paint can pouring paint to cover the earth, had a career which afforded him the opportunity to the world, living and working in New England, the East Coast, Atlanta, Dallas, Shanghai, Singapore and Cleveland as well as traveling the globe. Despite his success, he remained humble and lived a simple life, remaining accessible to the many lives he touched around the world. Most importantly, he was accessible to his family no matter in what country or how far away he was, he found a way to be with them and make time for them. He was a proud dad and granddad. He was an avid sports fan, in particular, he had a love of baseball. In what little free time he could find, he enjoyed a spirited round of golf. George is the beloved husband of Patricia A. (nee Kopeski). He is the loving father of Eric (Melissa), Heather, Laura Spurlock (Stephen), Gregory (Sheila) and devoted granddad of Abigail, Owen, Colin Tryston and Asher.
