This memorial website was created in memory of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, Peter McInerney, 78, born on September 3, 1936 and passed away on January 18, 2015. We will remember his boisterous laugh, his sage advice that came from his heart and his warmth and strength wrapped in an endearing yet indomitable spirit.

Love #2 knucklehead.
Wish I had something profound, enlightening or enduring to say but sadly I am lacking in words today. Just, that you are missed. Yep, missed. dd
In that, you and Stephen remain a huge inspiration for us each and everyday. Love you forever, Brian and Bobby

You are missed more than ever -
Though I know you are nearby guiding me/us, with Stephen being gone too, the void in my heart feels greater still.
Could be related to the incredible sadness we are experiencing here with the pandemic and the attacks on our democracy by our own people. We are in desperate need of the type of wisdom, leadership, and integrity you and Stephen shared.
We are thinking of Peter on this anniversary. Bobby, both of your grandfathers love you very much. Peter is not forgotten.
Seamus misses you too!
Well, back to the sewing room... Hugs with hugs...
We miss you and know you're offering your sage advice with humor to all those who joined you in heaven.
Love, Dave Barb Declan and Fiona
on your birthday. It seems that many family members are visiting Dublin
this year that it brings back memories of our many trips there with the
entire clan. We are all thinking about you.
We had the Annual Grandpa Mac Dinner at the StFYC - it continues. Met a couple of friends who shared more stories about you and Kei. There was much debate of which grandchild looked more like you with comparisons to your photo - I voted it was Connor, but it turns out they all have your good looks. Next year we might have to see which has as much charm as you. It was another memorable event - we could definitely feel your presence. You are missed terribly - so much it hurts at times. With Love from all of us - Brian
journalism, Mac grabbed Jennings over so that I could meet him. I was speechless, but the two men enjoyed a most joyful conversation filled with jabs and wit. Along came a woman who asked Jennings if they were brothers, even though they differed in their coloration. Both answered “yes” and laughed. It was a memorable evening.

My distinguished loved namesake. Even more handsome than I! Wish we'd met -- had his St. Francis sailboat rammed my South End rowboat we'd done so. Now that I know something of that Mr. P. F. McInerney, his example will strengthen me to work hard not to disgrace our name.
We met Peter 17 years ago. He was a fine gentleman, courtly and wise. A wonderful father to Brian and his brothers, husband to Kei,father-in-law to Amy and grandfather to Bobby. Bobby loved both his grandfathers very much and we will all miss him. We considered him part of our family. Sincerest condolences, Ray and Howard
family to wonderful places of interest. We distinctly remember the Napa Valley wine tours, the beautiful art galleries and museums and Marine World Africa. Then the many delightful restaurants from the top of the Hyatt Regency Hotel for brunch to quaint Mexican cafe's.
After a tour of the Spanish Missions established by Jesuit Junipero
Serra at Carmel we finished off with a little "light refreshment" at Clint Eastwood's Hogg's Breath Inn.
With Peters commentary on his beautiful city on the bay, we fell in love with San Francisco. His four boys were fun to be around, full of that exuberance that is so characteristic of happy youngsters. Peter was very proud of each of them.
For that short time Peter brought great joy and hospitality to Noirin and I.
He will be remembered for his warmth and sincerity and was a true son of Eire. Fondly remembered. "Beannacht De ort"

May God comfort his family and close friends.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your father and father-in-law. I know how painful the loss of a parent can be. May the Lord give you peace during this challenging time.

Happy 80th Birthday Dad
Happy 80th birthday Dad. We miss you!

My fondest memories of Peter were when myself and my wife Fiona met up with himself and Kei in San Francisco , when we were on our honeymoon. He made our time so special, especially when himself and Kei brought us out sailing between Tiburon and Sausilito. We were joined by Mark and Tammy. Peter was such marvellous company, so gregarious and fun loving , himself and Kei were a very special couple.
Peter and Kei visited Ireland in 1999 to attend my sister Aislings wedding to Paul. That was 1999 and I know he had a fantastic time, I remember well New Year's Eve (millennium eve) in our home, the party went on well into the early hours everyone had to sing a song,those who did not know the words were handed a songbook.
Peters version of "Nancy Whiskey"was brilliant he was really in his element he looked so happy being with his sister (my mum) Maura and the rest of his Irish Family and that is the way I would love to remember him The Picture of Happiness.
Myself and Fiona would like to personally send our condolences to Kei, Stephen,Brian, David and Mark and their families on their sad loss and hope to meet up with you all in the not too distant future.
