Peter Joseph McGrath, 61, of Hill Street, Norton, died on Tuesday, January 20, 2015 at Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro. Born in Attleboro, Massachusetts on August 27, 1953, he was a son of the late James L. McGrath and Frances (Macaruso) Alix. He was the stepson of Oscar Alix of North Attleboro and the late Grace McGrath. He resided in Norton for almost 30 years after having resided at the Paul A. Dever School in Taunton. Peter will be remembered for his sense of humor and mischievous ways. He would often take his roommate's socks when his caregivers were not looking and then pretend he did not do it.

McGrath and his wife, Diane (Nalinnes) McGrath of Naples, Florida and his sister: Diane (DeSantis) Ehnstrom and her husband, Peter Ehnstrom, in Hawaii.
