William E. McCarthy

My thoughts and prayers are being sent to Carrie and her family, stay strong

I am so sorry to hear this news. Bill was a wonderful man & horsemen. He was always there to lend me a helping hand when I was at the races. He was a gentleman and his integrity was unequalled at the race track. I will miss chatting with him & hearing his stories. God speed dear Bill, I will miss you.

So sorry to hear this bill was a good man and a gentleman sorry for our loss

My condolences to his family. I knew him since1976 and galloped horses for him at Keystone. Wonderful trainer, friend and man. You will be missed by many. R.I.P.

Mr. McCarthy was a pillar among men. A true and honest gentleman, a dedicated husband, and father. He was an outstanding Trainer & Owner at PARX Racing and a man I could call "friend". He will be sorely missed by all who came in contact with him. I pray he is at peace and pain free and I ask that he look down on all of us with a warm smile. A Great Man.........taken way too soon.

So sorry for your lost,Bill was a good man and horseman and I enjoyed working for him.

Bill was my trainer for over 25 years, but more importantly he was my friend. A loyal and trustworthy man, who's word was his bond. Outstanding horse trainer, who developed Noble Maz into a 2-time stakes winning filly, who after her race career was over, became a stakes producing broadmare, Her son Noble Indy ran in the Kentucky Derby last year. I will miss "talking horses" with my long time friend and trainer Bill. God speed my friend!

Our thoughts remain with you and your family at this time. We are honored by the trust and confidence you have placed in us during this difficult time.
