He was a hard worker and an avid tool collector. His dedication to his family here and in Ireland and his strong Catholic faith never waivered. His generosity to others and selflessness was evident throughout his life. Relatives and friends are invited to visit the family Friday, April 21, 2017 12 Noon-1:00 PM St. Pius X Church, 220 Lawrence Road, Broomall, PA and to his Funeral Mass at 1:00 PM.

Dear Kathy and Family, I know this is coming very late after we moved to Lexington, Kentucky in January 2017, but we want you to know how much we loved Pete and his sunny personality! I loved talking to him when he came to our house. He was a radiant person who exuded a joy of life and he worked so hard! I think of him often and wish with all my heart he knew how much he was loved!

Dear Kathy And Family,
So very sorry for your loss. Although we have never met Mr. McGee, it was quite evident through the years how deeply devoted he was to his family. You were always there for each other, helping each other through every aspect of life - work, play, and illness. You are good people who set good standards for society. You are all in our prayers. Love, Gerri and George Fahy

Colleen and Family,
I am saddened to hear of your dad's passing. There is no doubt he was a man of great principle, raising a daughter as strong and brave as you. I will be out of town Friday, and sorry I can't attend to celebrate his life. Please know you and your family are close to my heart. Much love and peace.

The lawns in heaven are much greener now since Peter McGee has arrived. When he would visit us he didn't leave without weeding our flower beds! A wonderful person inside and out and we will miss him very much.
