David W McCarty
David knew that no act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted. That may be why he was so generous with his time. If a friend needed help with their home, he would be there ready to completely remodel it. When asked to help with a 24 hour charity event, David was more than happy to sell hotdogs and sleep in a tent. Given, he was always looking for an excuse to go camping. Born with an eye for detail, he used that skill during his 22 years as a display designer for Sea Gull Lighting, his remodeling projects and even when he took inventory before going to the grocery store. And although he always rooted for the Phillies, he rooted more for his daughter, having coached her since she played T Ball, and for his son while attending all of his sporting events.rnIn the late 1980s David met a co-worker named Terry (nee Slimm), and although it would take a bit of wooing, he eventually won her heart. His life was further blessed by his daughter Deborah of Edgewater Park, his son Kerry Slimm of Philadelphia and his grandson Tyler Ethan Slimm. He is survived by his mother Betty McCarty of Edgewater Park, sisters; Gail Bentley (John) of Edgewater Park and Kathy Kersey (Tommy) of Riverside, brother Mathew and nephew Cailen McCarty of Arizona, nephew Eric Bentley, and great-niece Madison N. Bentley. He is also survived by his other nieces and nephews.rnCome celebrate David’s 50 generous years (5/1/1960-9/8/2010) on Sunday from 6-8 PM and Monday from 10 AM at the Sweeney Funeral Home, Riverside, where the service will follow at 11 AM. Interment Lakeview Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers memorial gifts may be given to Betty McCarty via the funeral home at 337 Bridgeboro St. Riverside, NJ 08075.rn

you will always be my “older younger brother”. We have alwasys been close and I will keep you close the rest of my days until you can teach me how to play horseshoes in Heaven.
My heart goes out for all of you. Wish I could be there with you right now in this terrible time. Dave was the best thing that ever happened to my sister, and she was the best thing that happened to him. Dave was a good husband and a wonderful father and grandfather. Dave was always willing to help where ever he was. He came to Maine for my son’s wedding, after all the driving he did he helped us set up tables, chairs, etc. Dave always had a smile on his face. I thank the good lord that he gave us a wonderful person like Dave for the time he was here on earth. He provided for him family and was such a good friend to whoever he met. Now that his time here is over he moved up to heaven to build his home up there while he waits for the love of his life, my sister. I know that God will carry you all through this terrible time and give you all the strength you need. Dave we all will miss you. Love you sister, Diana
I met Mr. McCarty several times last year as Debbie’s teacher. He was a very nice person who showed love and understanding for his daughter. My thoughts and prayers are with Debbie and his family as I am so sorry for their loss.
