ONEONTA – Keith S. McCarthy, 76, passed away Saturday, March 3, 2007 at home surrounded by family after a brief illness.
He was born June 25, 1930 in Tonawanda, the son of Horace and Grace (Dillon) McCarthy.

He graduated from Tonawanda High School and the State University College of Oneonta. He received his Master's Degree from the State University College of Buffalo. Keith is remembered as an outstanding High School and College basketball player being inducted into the College at Oneonta Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001.
Keith taught at the Bugbee School and at the State University College of Oneonta until retirement in 1991. He was a dedicated teacher who will always be remembered by his students.
He was a member of St. James Episcopal Church, the United States National Guard and the Oneonta Elks Club. He was the recipient of the Elk of The Year in 1997-1998.

He was a loving father and dedicated husband. He also had a wonderful sense of humor, which his children, grandchildren and many friends will always remember. In Keith's own words, he said to just say, "He's Gone".
