Harold Raich

Uncle Harold was a man of principle and integrity, committed to his wife, Eleanor Raich, and his daughters, Ilana Marcus and Nancy Raich and his grandchildren, Dylan Marcus, and Cooper Raich. Harold always maintained a positive outlook on life, and encouraged all around him to do the same. He had a habit of calling me and everyone around him "kid" which I enjoyed more and more as I entered my forties and fifties. Harold was born in 1930, grew up in Montreal, he witnessed World War 2, as child and was 18 when the modern state of Israel came into existence. Harold came from a generation that had a strong sense of moral clarity, and determination. He led a life dedicated to providing for his family. Even last week, after we had talked about the family, our conversation turned to the markets, his passion in later years, he asked me some questions that stumped me, Harold was sharp to the end. And as always when it was time to say goodbye, he said "Take care of yourself kid." with warmth and empathy. Condolences to the entire Raich family. Gd bless Harold. You will be missed.

Dear Eleanor, So sorry to hear that your beloved Harold passed. I never had the pleasure of knowing him other than to hear you always speak so proudly & lovingly of him. He always sounded so special as a husband, father & grandfather. May his memory be for a blessing. Sending you my deepest sympathy, hugs & kisses.

Dearest Aunt Eleanor, Nancy, Ilana and extended family. I was so shocked speaking to Eleanor today March 24th and hearing this sad sad news. The Raich family hold many memories in my heart, particularly in my childhood and of late having reconnected after many years with Harold and Eleanor. Upon our reconnection,Harold, Eleanor and myself joyfully went down memory lane and recounted beautiful memories from the past. Harold was always a positive, merry and an upbeat intelligent man with such a welcoming, caring and warm personality. It is beautiful to have seen this unique couple years later only to remind me of the beautiful and endearing personalities that they complimented each other with. Harold was very close to my late dad, Bobby Schrier and because of them they carried their friendship in their life paths to include their future wives, being Eleanor and my mom Sandy. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to re-experience Harold's joie de vivre years later but sadly it wasn't long enough. God bless you Harold. Rest in peace. Your wonderful soul will be lived through your beautiful wife Eleanor. God bless you Eleanor for the love you had with one another and will continue to experience on a spiritual level. ......... Harold you leave a very warm place in my heart. In my dad's words he would salute you and say "God Be With You".
