Goodrich, TX Sunday, September 27, 2020 My condolences to the McGrath Family. Jim & family were one of the first families we met at St. Joseph's Church when we moved to Goodrich "years" ago. He put so much into his time with our Church and all its activities, I thought he was a "paid" member. He will be missed!!Edward T Arrich
