About The Pat McCarthy Memorial Foundation
Patrick "Pat" McCarthy was a devoted resident of Cedar Grove, a loving husband to his wife Maria, and a proud father to his three children, Nicolette, Joseph and Patch. As the owner of Atlantic Irrigation, he was deeply committed to his trade, yet his greatest pride was always his family. Pat was a steadfast supporter of his children's passions, particularly their involvement in sports. His dedication extended beyond his family to the broader Cedar Grove community, where he was known for his unwavering support. This foundation was established to honor his legacy of family devotion, community involvement, and encouragement of young people to pursue their goals with passion and perseverance.
