There will be a funeral mass [Tuesday] in Columbus [Ohio]; I don't have time or place. Thursday he will be taken to South Bend for burial in a family plot. John was a long-standing member of CISS and he became an instructor during the last two or three years of his membership and before he had to withdraw for health reasons.
Services are at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Westerville, OH.
Condolences may be addressed to dispatch.com (that is the Columbus newspaper e-mail.) Family requests NO flowers. Donations may be made to one's favorite charity* in memory of John McCarthy. Anyone doing that should request an acknowledgment be sent to Karen Fisher (his daughter) [address removed - call me for it - ed.]
John gave me a lot of encouragement during the whole A-B-C-Bronze badge stage, and was the official observer for one of my silver badge flights. I am sorry to hear of his passing.
*See yesterday's post if you can't think of a favorite charity.
