McGILVRAY, Charles D. Of Falmouth, formerly of Weymouth, died September 19, 2020.
Beloved husband of Mary E. (Stimpson) O'Halloran.
Loving step-father of Michael P. O'Halloran and his wife Mary T. McCarthy of Dorchester, and Brian T. and his wife Jean O'Halloran of Brookline.
Devoted grandfather of Joy, Desmond, Molly, Sean, Abigail, and Samuel O'Halloran.
Brother of Patricia McGilvray of Cohasset, Gerald and his wife Patricia McGilvray of Quincy, Marella and her husband Robert Shea of Abington, and the late Paul McGilvray. Brother-in-law of Barbara McGilvray of Washington.

Charles was a veteran serving in the U.S. Army. He was a retired printer for the former Record American and the Boston Herald for over 40 years. He graduated from Weymouth High School, Class of '54, and played football, winning numerous state championships. He was an avid sailor, and took several long voyages on his beloved sailboat "Auriga" to Newfoundland and Bermuda, among other destinations. He especially loved skiing and golf, and he proudly taught all of his grandchildren how to ski. He loved to travel with his family. On one recent trip to Scotland, he impressively scored a 78, with 2 birdies, on one of Scotland's tough courses. He accomplished this at the "young" age of 82 years.
