Edward McCarthy of Bourne, after a brief illness, passed away peacefully March 10, 2019, surrounded by family and friends. He was born September 5, 1943 in Boston, Massachusetts, but since 1970 the community of Bourne had been Ed’s home. He is survived by his brother William (Suzanne) McCarthy of Burlington, Massachusetts; sister Mary Ann (John) Lawler of Miramar, Florida; and nieces,
nephews and countless friends who will forever miss him.
Ed was a beloved coach, mentor, educator and guidance counselor in the Bourne school system. Known as “Mac” to all whose lives he touched, he will forever be remembered for his willingness to help anyone who needed helping.
To remain involved in the Bourne community after retiring in 2011 as a guidance counselor, Mac began work at Mezza Luna in Buzzards Bay so he would still be surrounded by and interacting with his “Cape Family” he loved so much.
To honor Ed’s life the family has arranged a memorial service from 4 P.M. to 7 P.M., Thursday March 14th at Nickerson-Bourne Funeral Home in Bourne. To further celebrate Ed’s life, the family invites you join them at his treasured Mezza Luna Restaurant in Buzzards Bay at 1 P.M. Friday, March 15 th . In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the American Diabetes Association.
