So sorry. You, cousin Jimmie, and the rest of the family, are in my thoughts, memories, prayers and masses. Sorry I can't be there with you all

To the McRaith family,
We are so sorry for your loss. I remember him as Barry's older brother when we used to get together on Lincoln Street. He was always friendly to us "younguns" although 5 years older and participated in some of our games on the golf course. So, our masses and prayers are with you all. God bless.

To the McRaith Family,
I have many fond memories of Mr McRaith and the entire family. The loss of a parent is never easy. Remember a piece of him lives on in all of you.
Those who leave us don't go away, they walk beside us everyday.
You are in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of Tom's passing. He and Jimmie have had such a long and wonderful marriage and also reached out to so many others. I well remember their reaching out to our cousin Kerry Leary in his long struggles, and am grateful for all they have been for so many others. I will offer mass for Tom, and the rest of the family, here in St. Louis tomorrow.

Heartbreaking to hear of Tom's death. His wife Jimmie has been my friend since seventh grade. I have followed the wonderful family (I call the McRaith Institution) for the almost 62 year marriage and marvel at what Tom and Jimmie have created. Prayers unceasing.

Tom was a wonderful person! It was truly a blessing to be able to work with him at St Vincent de Paul Society. I will miss him.

Mr. McRaith was a wonderful man. A rock-solid person, a great father, and always a true gentleman. I learned a lot from his example and will miss him. Sincere condolences to his entire family and large group of friends.
