I’m sorry I’m late hearing this sad news and hope this message reaches you. I feel so lucky to have had Paddy cheering me and my family to the finish line of the charity TPAAA run on Toronto Island with his trademark encouragement for all. And so many Florida memories - all infused with hearty laughter and great stories. I’m sure Frank and Kay and all his friends were waiting for him, in heaven, so the party could really get started. Condolences to all. Tina and family. 

Our sincere sympathy for your loss.  We just heard about Paddy today.  Our family shared many wonderful memories with Patty & Mary you joined us on occasion as well.    This is a big loss for all.  Tony & Linda Taylor (from Jim Boyce's family)  our thoughts & prayers are with you.

Daryl  and
George.   

The Squire was a very special person to me. He truly lived life to the fullest and with no regrets. There are so many stories that could be shared and I am happy to have been a part of a few.

Mr. McLaughlin was a very smart, funny, loving and direct man that didn't have time for any BS. You knew exactly where you stood with him.

You will always be in me heart and in my thoughts. Wishing I could get just one more bear hug. 

With deepest condolences and love. 

Jimmy

We are saddened to hear about the passing of Paddy McLaughlin, our deepest condolences to the family. 

Paddy was sharp witted individual and had a fantastic sense of humor. I met Paddy through his son Colin, from there on we developed a friendship. Throughout the years we’ve known each other Paddy and I attended many events within the city and a few road trips, that won’t be forgotten.

“Ah, your joking! You two guys are like moths to a flame. Brilliant. But not for long. I will be having this conversation with two different fools next year”.  My deepest condolences to all of you 

I first met Paddy in 1971 a 5 Traffic, and knew him throughout my career, always a gentleman and a all around nice man. I shall fondly remember him.
PAX REQIUM 

Our sincere condolences to the McLaughlin family during this difficult time. 

I remember as a kid going to my Aunt Mary’s  nearly every Sunday for a swim in their pool. Every time we were there, Patrick would drop by for his weekly visit and have a beer. 
Sometimes while on duty, and sometimes on days off. LOL Those were the days.....

God rest his soul,
Josie Dunne, Lori and Jocelyne. 


Mr. Mclaughlin was a very special family friend who's character was nothing less than sterling.  He was also a mentor and was always telling stories with his smile.  He would always visit my dad at his barber shop almost every Saturday and would call if he was unable to visit.  I would sit in the barbershop and speak with him and he would tell me stories.  He also advised my dad's customers that he was a Sergeant with the Toronto Police Service and he would patrol in 14 Division.  That kept all the customers on their best behaviour.  He would also have a "special tea" with my dad when he visited on Saturdays.  Mr. Mclaughlin also inspired me to join the TPS and take part in the 5km runs.  

You will be missed. Our condolences to the family and may he rest in peace.

God bless. John the Barber and the Barber's Son and family. 
      

I remember back in the early 80’s when Paddy was working you would always hear Irish music blaring at the front desk of 14 division . Paddy always had a smile on his face and would always make sure to say hello and ask how you were. I’m sure paddy is up In heaven having a pint with my dad.  May your soul be at peace Sarg.  I would like to express my sincere condolences to the McLauglin family. 🙏🙏

I remember going to the Catskills for Labor Day Weekend with my cousins.  We would all pile into my uncle Patrick’s van early in the morning and head out for our weekend trip.  There was a recliner in the back, if I remember correctly, and my granny would sit in that chair for the drive.  I think Patrick called it the pope mobile.  I also remember spending lots of weekends swimming with the McLaughlins and the Dunn’s at my mom’s house.  Going to mass on Christmas Eve and then back to my cousins place for a drink to celebrate the season.   I’m sorry to hear about his passing and that you guys  have to deal with another loss so soon after Michele.   When I heard the news my first thought was that that is the end of my mom’s immediate family.   I believe in God and I’d like to think that my mom, uncle Eugene, granny and grandpa were with him when he died and now they are all together again.   

Patrick McLaughlin will always shine a light through his surviving family. His daughter Lynn has been and will always be a special person in my life, foot tapping speeches and all. Met her at work, took her home for dinner, and she is now family. 
Condolences to Mrs. M and family,
Sincerely
Kathleen Matchett

Many lovely memories with Paddy. The fact that many of them happened late at night does not diminish the gratitude we felt for his help and understanding. The police breakfasts were other joyous times Paddy introduced us to. Slan abhaile Padraigh a vic. Jimmy Carton.

My Family is So Fortunate to have Spent this past Father's Day in the Yard , PADDY had A Great Day..!! ☘️
☘️LOVE YOU PADDY...☘️

I worked with Paddy in the Emergency Task Force 1975-1976.  He was a great supervisor, liked and respected by us all.  My sincere condolences are extended to his entire family at this very difficult time.

What a great man.   Always treated me so well, and always welcomed everyone into his home.   Humour like his is very hard to find.   One of a kind.

My condolences
