Background
Mr. McReary was the father of Derrick, Gerald, Patrick, Francis, and Kate McReary, and husband of Maureen McReary. Much like the rest of the McReary family, Mr. McReary also have a criminal story. It can be assumed that he was arrested for Murder in or before 1950 and became a fugitive in or before 1961, since his wife Maureen has convictions for Accessory to Murder and Harboring a Fugitive in those years and is stated in the LCPD database to have been a conspirator with him in the 50's and 60's.
Mr. McReary was an abusive father according to Packie, when Packie and Niko hang out, Packie may open up to Niko, and tell him that he was almost molested by his father, but Gerry stopped him and beat their father to a pulp. He calls his father a "pervert" and condemns his memory to "the seventh circle of Hell". Packie also mentions that despise Mr. McReary constantly abusing his sons, he used to left Kate alone.
Maureen also states that Mr. McReary is most likely in Hell, however, unlike her sons, she seems extremely upset over his death.
Mr. McReary committed suicide in 2000.
Trivia
- During the mission Harboring a Grudge, its possible to see a portrait above Maureen McReary's fireplace that shows what Mr. McReary looked like.
- There is a portrait in Oleg Minkov's apartment above his fireplace of Mr. McReary and Maureen McReary as seen in the mission Wrong is Right. This is because in the files, the model fireplace is attached to the picture frame, so when used in Oleg's apartment, the picture went with it.
