DANIEL (DONAL) MCCARTHY It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Daniel, loving husband of Mary, at the Grace Hospital on Friday, October 28 at the age of 82. He was predeceased by his parents Margaret and Daniel and brothers Larry, Jerry and Joe. Daniel is survived by his wife Mary of 53 years; his daughters, Patti (Rick), Mary Ann (Darrell), Gail (Mark) and Carolin (Mike); grandchildren, Dan (Becky), Lisa (Patrick), Ryan (Alanna), Jay (Tara), Lee-Ann, Jennica, Jamieson, Analeisa, Marysa, Riley and Janessa and great-grandchildren, Melora, Dara, Helena, Ethan and Noah. He will also be missed by his siblings, Rosaleen (Bill), Sheila, Ed (Gail) and Maureen (Peter) and many nieces and nephews. Daniel was one of eight children, full of life and known to be fearless. He joined the Navy at the age of 18 and served on the ship H.M.C.S. Prince David during the Second World War. As a young child, he was always building various projects. His love for carpentry led him to become a journeyman carpenter, working in construction and later employed with MTS in the carpentry shop for 29 years. His job took him to many small Northern and Southern communities where he built the Telecommunication buildings. After retirement he was able to enjoy some of his hobbies such as gardening and woodworking. He was a dedicated parishioner of St. Ann's Parish where he took part in many ministries. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Sister Alice Konefall for her friendship and great support through this difficult time. Daniel was a devoted husband and father and would do anything for his girls. He will be lovingly remembered for his great sense of humour, generosity and gentle nature. Funeral service will be held on Wednesday, November 2 at 2:00 p.m. at St. Ann's Parish, 271 Hampton St. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R3E 0V9.
