On June 1, the Allegheny County Democratic Party lost one of its dearest members with the passing of Ed "Mickey" Mcguire after a long battle with cancer.

"Mickey" was a revered community champion, politician and lifelong resident of Allegheny County. He was born August 31, 1928, son of the late John & Mae (Gallagher) McGuire of North Braddock. Mickey grew up in North Braddock and raised his 11 children in North Versailles. He dedicated his life to public service as a Korean War Army Veteran, North Versailles Township Commissioner, Chief Deputy of Allegheny County Treasurer and an active member of the Democratic Party. He was a retired employee of E.L. Weigand and served as President of their Local Union, #1020 of the UAW. Ed exemplified the true meaning of service in every position that he held and will be fondly remembered & missed by his family, friends, colleagues and constituents as a true leader. Beloved husband of Agnes "Babe" (Videc) McGuire for 54 years. Loving father of 11 children: Roxanne Amrhein, Mary Crystol, Kevin McGuire, Sandy Onderisin, Tracy Dickun, Kelly Zomp, Erin McGuire, Angel Kielar, Sean McGuire, Eddie McGuire and Colleen Rigberg. Also survived by 19 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren, and many nieces & nephews.

We will miss Mickey for his leadership, sense of humor and lifetime of dedicated service to the Democratic Party. Please remember Mickey in your thoughts and prayers.
