South Deerfield, MA - Timothy Owen McGrath, age 77, passed away on Friday, November 21, 2025 after a long illness.
He was born on January 30, 1948 in Mineola, NY. He was predeceased by his mother, Helen E. McGrath (Quinn), father, Daniel J. McGrath and his stepmother, Una McGrath (Lynch). He is survived by Carol, his loving wife of 49 years, his beloved sister-in-law Elaine Dietrich, niece Kristen Dietrich, nephew Eric Dietrich and best friend since high school, John Sadowski.
