Patrick "PJ" McCarthy

It was amazing growing up in the McCarthy family and being around Pj, Chris & Sean. Lifetime of memories that I hold dear to my heart, passing along to my kids the influences he had on me. I took this picture of Pj doing what he loved to do with his favorite friend at the Sleepy Hollow home. Pj Was Bigger Than Life To Be Around. One Christmas back in the 90's Pj gave me a book that he wrote a message in
" Chinese gave us gun powder God gave us brains use that energy to further yourself "

My husband and I met PJ at the ranch. Pj was like my Dad we could sit and talk and watch our 2 golden retrievers Sydney and Sundance play for hours.
The right up on PJ was so perfect. He was always telling us where to go when we would travel. He was kind and always had a story to tell. He will be missed very much.

I met him in 2006 at Rancho California. We instantly hit it off. We had great times together. He was the best friend I ever had. I miss him so much

Dear Sr..... I hope and pray that you have found peace

You will always be here in spirit and in my heart. Rest in Peace.

PJ...I miss the great times we had together, and I'm gonna' miss you dearly now that you're gone! You'll always be in my heart and mind - a genuine good friend and scholar. God bless you!

Im so sorry for your loss.
PJ was a one of kind person who was loved by all. I remember how devoted he was to his children and friends. He always had the gift to make everyone smile and feel special.
He will be missed by all. I´m just sorry I never stayed in touch.
Always loved you, until we meet again.

My dear sweet Papa, I miss you more than words can describe, I'm sorry you had to leave us, I love you with all of my heart, rest in eternal peace!

Being a friend of PJ Jr, I had the opportunity to meet PJ at an impressionable age. I observed how PJ carried himself with grace and distinction. He was confident and driven and quick to share these attributes with others. I paid close attention and was blessed to have a role model and a mentor like him. When in his presence with his own sons, I was often introduced as one as well. Rest in peace PJ but my guess is your afterlife is going to be as active as your life with your friends and family that passed before you.
