McCarthy, Eugene F. “Gene”, Jr., entered into God’s rest on May 31st at age 61 after losing his battle to cancer. Gene was born in Brockton on March 28, 1948 to his late parents Eugene and Jesse. He graduated Brockton High School and attended Southeastern Massachusetts University. His love for the ocean brought him to Marshfield 39 years ago and it has been his home ever since. He enjoyed spending summers and vacations at the beach, boating and fishing with family and friends. He was a man of generous heart and great love for his family and friends. Before his illness, he simply couldn’t do enough for others. Whenever something needed to be done, he was offering to lend a hand. He was an independent contractor for many years. One of the projects he was the most proud of was his involvement in the rebuilding of Our Lady of the Assumption Church is Green Harbor. Because his faith was important to him, he was grateful and honored to have been able to assist in keeping a Catholic church in Green Harbor. He was beloved Father of Pamela Kane and her husband Justin of So. Portland, Maine, Cher Spada and her husband John of Braintree, and Heather McDonough and her husband Josh of Marshfield. Loving grandfather of Autumn, Grace and Liam Kane, Zachary, Jake and Fallon Spada, and Alexis and Maggie McDonough. Former husband of 36 years to Ida Marie (Wood) McCarthy. Brother of Maryann McCarthy of Bourne and Susanne McCarthy of Brockton.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday June 13, at 10:00 am. at Our Lady of the Assumption Church, Green Harbor. The family will celebrate Gene’s life immediately following the Mass at Green Harbor Yacht Club. His friends are warmly invited to the gathering.
