This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one,
John Harold McGinley
John's passing has left a hole in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. This memorial pays tribute to who he was as a person, father, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend. John had a huge heart with a smile that put you at ease. He was a gentle spirit, a hard worker, a closet inventor, and a poet. He was witty and clever with a soft spot for Hot Pockets. He loved to read mystery novels and always kept a book within reach to jot down his thoughts, ideas and poems. The New York Yankees lost one of their most devoted fans. He loved baseball and was highly revered as a player himself on the Brooklyn diamonds playing for local leagues. Being on the other end of one of his hugs made you feel like you were the most loved person in the world.
John also battled depression and addiction for most of his life. What remained constant during all of his trials and tribulations was his love of family. There is so much to share about John. If you find your way to this memorial, pay tribute to him by sharing your stories and what impact he had on your life. John was born on April 21, 1962 and passed away on March 1, 2005 but he lives on in all of us, Forever And A Day.
