William McGinty

William Lee McGinty, 81, of Mansfield died Thursday, July 3, 2008. He shared with his nurse at MedCentral Mansfield Hospital, "It's time to go" and shortly thereafter, he went home to be with the Lord. He was a loving husband and father, a good provider and protector, and had a very generous heart. He was also a loving grandfather, great-grandfather and friend to many---he will be greatly missed. William was born and raised in Mansfield, Ohio, where he in turn, raised his family. He graduated from Mansfield Senior High and held many jobs throughout the years, also being known for his professionalism in painting houses. He traveled extensively in the USA and enjoyed many family trips across the country. He had a love for western movies and NASCAR races. He also enjoyed his "coffee, cookies and conversation". In his retirement, William was known as the shuttle driver at Whitey's Auto Mall and also worked for FEMA.
