Philip James O'Grady

Of Arlington Heights

Philip James O’Grady was born September 28, 1941 in Chicago to William and Ruth (nee Hederman) O’Grady. He passed away January 6, 2022 at Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights.

Phil was a proud 1959 graduate of Fenwick High School, a member of the Holy Name Society at Our Lady of the Wayside and an avid Chicago sports fan, specifically the White Sox. He was a proud sports dad and grandpa who loved to take in his grandkids’ games. Phil was an “Irish Catholic Democrat that paid his own way.” He loved to sit on the deck, holding court and conversation with friends and family. The family is grateful for JourneyCare Hospice for the excellent care that Phil received and to Jim Neubert for his weekly visits to see Phil.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years Mary Anne (nee McGuire) O’Grady; his children Bill (Jennifer), Elizabeth (Eric), Philip (Christine), Brian (Chrissie), Margaret and Jim; proud grandpa of Harrison, Meghan, Julia, Sean, P.J., Gabi, Maeve, Margaret and Frannie; his cousin Barbara Wuebbels and by many nieces and nephews.
