McCARTHY, Edward Patrick (Ed) 1936 – 2023
It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the passing of Ed McCarthy, surrounded by family, on Saturday, April 1st, 2023, at the age of 87. He is now reunited with the love of his life and best friend, his wife Barbara (2021) of 53 years. Devoted and loving father of John (Hilary) and Rachel (Eddie). Super special and beloved grandpa of Aven and Caelan. Ed will be missed by his sisters and brothers-in-law Barbara (Chuck) Hamilton, Marian (Gerry) Dobson, Wally Clost and sister-in-law Liz Birkby. Predeceased by his sister Marguerite Clost and brother-in-law Andrew Birkby. His loss is also felt by many of his nieces and nephews, extended family, and close friends.
Ed, originally from the Ottawa Valley, received his undergraduate degree from St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish in Pre-Med. He then went onto receive his teaching certificate from Queen’s University in Kingston. Finally, he completed his Master of Science at SUNY Buffalo while teaching in Niagara. Also, while in University, Ed spent two summers working with the Ottawa Roughriders as a trainer as well as working for the government in Ottawa in the Department of Mines.
He came to the Niagara Region to teach at Niagara District Secondary School from 1962 to 1993. There he taught both Physics and Physical Education, ending his tenure at NDSS as the Head of Phys Ed. He was most known for coaching football, basketball, track and field, judo (level brown belt) and every sport in between. His extensive career at NDSS allowed him to teach generations of families from Niagara-on-the-Lake and surrounding communities.
Ed was the Charter President and co-founder of the Niagara on the Lake Kinsmen Club. He was also a devoted member of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, rarely missing a Saturday service. Ed also helped Barb with her philanthropic work with the Canadian Cancer Society as well as supporting Newark Neighbors and PBS.
Ed and Barb travelled the world extensively with John and Rachel while on a teacher exchange in Australia. They also visited every single state in the USA over the years, many of them in their camper van with their dog Reilly. Later in life, they even managed an excursion to Greenland and Iceland, two of the many places on their bucket lists.
Ed was generous in every way a person can be. He was a quiet and humble man, quick to help anyone who needed it, a good friend and loved his family above all else. To say he will be deeply missed is the greatest understatement.
Ed’s family will receive friends on Thursday, April 6th from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. and Tuesday April 11, 2023, from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m., with Memorial service at 1 pm at Morgan Funeral Home, 415 Regent Street, Niagara-on-the-Lake. Inurnment to follow at Niagara Lakeshore Cemetery. For those who wish, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, Hospice Niagara and the Lincoln County Humane Society.
