William McCarthy Obituary
12/3/1956 - 7/31/2024
Manchester
William "Bill" Bruce McCarthy, 67, of Manchester, passed away Wednesday, July 31, 2024 at home with his loving family by his side. Bill's family and friends will gather for a celebration of life Friday, August 9, 2024 from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm at Eineder Funeral Homes - Manchester Chapel.
He was born on December 3, 1956, in Ann Arbor, Michigan to Richard and Ann Mary (Ball) McCarthy. Bill married the love of his life, Robin Rogers, on July 28, 1984 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He will be remembered as an extremely loving husband, father and grandfather that cherished his family and was a great provider. Bill graduated from Huron High School, Ann Arbor, class of 1975. He also attended Purdue University. Bill retired from General Motors after 44 years of service as an electrician. He was a member of the Automobile License Plate Collector Association (ALPCA) for over 50 years, and a longtime member of the Michigan License Plate Collector Association (MLPCA) taking annual trips to attend their conventions. Bill was an avid softball player in his younger years. He met the love of his life at her sister's wedding. The union was destined to be. She moved him from his city life to the country, and there was no turning back. He was hooked, enjoying all things country. Bill fought the good fight for several years with cancer, right up to the end. He had a wonderful sense of humor and will greatly be missed by all who knew and loved him.
Bill is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Robin; his children, James McCarthy and Kelly (Richard) Perkins; a brother, David (Mary) McCarthy; grandchildren Brooke and Sadie Perkins, Lucas McCarthy; several nieces and nephews; aunt Karen Stewart and uncle Dan (Pam) McCarthy. He is preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Ann Mary.
