Jim's joy for life was infectious. I will never forget his kindness. He was a true gentle-man. He brought a lamp to those without light, he ignited the flame of love in those with dwindling hope. It is a blessing to have known him.

To the Rafferty Family,
We would like to express our sincere condolence and sympathy on Mr. Raffertys' passing. A happy and proud Irishman
who held his family and faith above all. Mr. Rafferty became a
friend to everyone he met. His love of life, with that infectious
smile, just made your day better whenever you saw him. As a
neighbor, I will miss his talk of his children and the love of his life, Mrs. Rafferty. " Ni bheidh a leitheid ann aris".
