Patrick O'Grady, a man of immense warmth, dedication, and love, passed away on May 12, 2024, leaving behind a legacy etched in the hearts of all who knew him. Born in County Clare, Ireland, he carried with him the spirit of his homeland throughout his life's journey.
Patrick was the beloved husband of Kathleen O'Grady, his steadfast companion through the years. Together, they built a family rooted in love and unity. As a loving father to Mary (Sean) Feeney, Geraldine Luby, John (Tricia) O’ Grady, Patrick (Maura) O’Grady , and Kathleen (Noel) McBrien, his guidance and affection shaped the lives of his children in profound ways.
His role as "Pops" was one of his greatest joys, cherishing every moment spent with his grandchildren: Sean, Erin, Katie, Brendan, Kevin, Ailish, Michael, Owen, Liam, Gavin, Jack, Patrick, Shane, Molly, Megan, Danny, and Colin. His love for them knew no bounds, and his presence will be deeply missed in their lives.
Patrick was preceded in death by his granddaughter Mairead, whose memory he carried with him always. He was the devoted son of the late Jack and Margaret O'Grady, and his love for family was a testament to the values instilled in him by his parents.
In addition to his immediate family, Patrick cherished his siblings: Ann Janocha, Elizabeth Mathews, John O'Grady, Mary Punch and the late Michael O'Grady. Their bond was a source of strength and support throughout his life's journey.
Patrick's dedication extended beyond his family, as he spent over 56 years as a dedicated employee at the New York Athletic Club. His commitment and hard work left an indelible mark on all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
