The Dalles Chronicle, December 1, 2004
     Daniel Patrick “Pat” McLoughlin Jr., longtime owner of Wasco Title, Inc., 
in The Dalles, died at his home here on Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2004. He was 71.
     He was born on June 19, 1933, in Portland, to Beatrice (Cairns) and 
Daniel Patrick McLoughlin, Sr. The family, which would later include a sister, 
Mary, moved to Yakima, where his father worked on the legal team that 
established the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. 
     The family moved to Condon when he was in grade school. He played 
football, basketball and baseball for Condon High School and graduated there 
in 1951.
     He went to college in Vanport for a year, then joined the United States 
Coast Guard on Aug. 21, 1952. He went to radio school in Connecticut and 
served on ice breakers as a radio man for his four years of active Coast Guard 
duty.
     He married Claudette Gleason on May 31, 1958, in Portland.
     He attended Portland State University and the Northwestern College of Law 
night school, receiving his law degree in 1961. 
     In 1962, the couple moved to The Dalles to take over Wasco Title from his 
father, who had been appointed Wasco County’s first district court judge. 
     He belonged to St. Peter’s Catholic Church and was also a longtime member 
of Kiwanis Club, the Elks, The Dalles Country Club and the American Legion.
     He enjoyed sports and reading — favorite subjects were local and national 
history - and frequent visits from his three grandchildren.
     For years, he officiated at sporting events around the Mid-Columbia and 
served as a Babe Ruth coach. Then, he enjoyed decades as a faithful spectator 
and supporter of local sports teams, often traveling to watch teams compete at 
the regional and state level. 
     He is survived by his wife, Claudette; his four children: Kathy 
McLoughlin; Laurie Bloniarz, her husband Chris and their daughter Emily; Dan 
McLoughlin, his wife Neita and their children Gracie and Colin; and Sue 
Peterson, all of The Dalles; his sister, Mary Geraghty and her husband Jim, 
Bellevue, Wash.; brother-in-law Doug Gleason and his wife Olwyn, Houston, 
Texas; his aunt, Mary Jo Foster, Eugene; and five nieces and nephews.
     He was preceded in death by his parents, Dan and Bea McLoughlin.
A memorial service is set for 11 a.m. Monday, Dec. 6 at St. Peter’s Catholic 
Church in The Dalles, with Fr. Todd Unger officiating. Viewing visitation is 
set for Friday, Dec. 3 from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Spencer, Libby & Powell 
Funeral Home, which is in charge of arrangements.
     Memorial contributions may be sent to St. Mary’s Academy Foundation, 1112 
Cherry Heights Rd., The Dalles, OR 97058; Salvation Army, 623 E. 3rd St., The 
Dalles, OR, 97058, or St. Vincent de Paul Society, 505 W. 9th St., The Dalles,
