An extended congregation is anticipated in St. John the Baptist Church. Caim, today (Easter Sunday) for the Funeral Mass of local businessman and popular member of the community, Robert Rackard.
Robert took over the popular shop and pub business in Caim from his late parents, John and Nuala Rackard, and was also well-known and respected as an auctioneer and for his open days at his antiques showroom.
Robert loved the daily interactions with everyone in the community between the shop and the pub. He was always a person to call on for a helping hand or rely on for some kind words of advice.
Robert was so well-known, respected and loved within the parish of Caim and far beyond. His absence will be hugely felt by all that knew him.
His heartbroken family are incredibly appreciative of the support, prayers and offers of condolences from everyone. May his gentle soul rest in peace.
