Michael McGinn, 63, died at his home in Skaneateles on Sunday, January 6, surrounded by his family. Michael was an officer in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War, commanding river boats on the Mekong River. He was later based in London, as principal briefer to the admiral of the Mediterranean fleet.

Michael's passion for politics began early and while president of the Young Democrats at his alma mater, Cornell, he proudly hosted Robert F. Kennedy during his bid for the Senate. He served the U.S. House of Representatives in several senior positions, including the committee on government operations and as staff director for the committee on veterans affairs. He later was deputy director of the presidential commission on federal paperwork. In the Carter administration, he worked in consumer affairs in the White House for a time.

Michael left Washington, DC, with his wife, Judith, to follow his dream to own a castle in Ireland. They lived in County Cork for almost 20 years, raising two sons.

He maintained friendships with a number of political leaders from the U.S. and Ireland throughout his life and was a fountain of stories from his extensive contacts, wide travels in Europe and Asia, and his adventurous lifestyle.

Michael is survived by his wife of 29 years, Judith (Moore), and two sons, Brendan Michael Moore and Seamus William Patrick.

A funeral Mass will be offered at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday in St. Mary's of the Lake Church, Skaneateles.
