The family of Paul Edward McCarthy Jr. of Burlington, NC announces his passing, and invites all who knew him to remember him here.
The following words honor a life that mattered to many.
Paul spent his working life as ['Hanes Corporation as a customer service representative'] and held deeply to the Catholic faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
A life of faith is rarely a life of certainty — but always one of trust.
