He was known for his quick wit and love of life, traits that served him well throughout his career as a restaurateur. He also loved sports of all kinds, especially hurling and football, and had a lifelong passion for Irish music, singing, and dancing. As a young man, he rarely missed a dance, was always ready with a song, and carried that love of Irish music with him throughout his life. He leaves behind a legacy of laughter, love, and cherished memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was baptized at St. Michael\u2019s Church in Athy, County Kildare, and was also a member of Parkview United Methodist Church in Peru, Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to his loving wife, he is survived by his sons, Patrick Michael (Julie) McLoughlin of Latham, and Andrew Joseph (Megan) McLoughlin of Liverpool; grandchildren Bridget, Brendan, and Liam McLoughlin; brother Brendan (Cici) McLoughlin; sisters Kathleen Moloney and Anne (Pat) Loughman; sister-in-law Sue McLoughlin; and many nieces and nephews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jerry was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Noel McLoughlin and Liam (Mary) McLoughlin; brother-in-law Francis Moloney; and sister Olive Harte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor Jerry by sharing a laugh, reaching out to someone you love, and living life with the same joy and generosity he showed every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A celebration of life will be held at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arrangements have been entrusted into Flowers-Leedy Funeral Home, family and friends may sign the online guestbook at www.flowersleedyallen.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flowersleedyallen.com\/obituary\/PatrickJerry-McLoughlin\/sympathy\">send flowers<\/a>&nbsp;to the family or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flowersleedyallen.com\/obituary\/PatrickJerry-McLoughlin\/1079912\/memorial-tree\">plant a tree<\/a>&nbsp;in memory of Patrick &#8220;Jerry&#8221; J.
