One last blow to finish off this terrible year:
From The Washington Post:
His son, Thomas Bloom Raskin, was a second-year student at Harvard Law School — where both his parents earned law degrees — and was a graduate of Amherst College.
The cause or circumstances of his death were not immediately clear, and a spokeswoman for Raskin could not immediately be reached Thursday evening.
“Tommy was pure magic. His brilliance and compassion knew no bounds,” Raskin and his wife, Sarah Bloom Raskin, said of their son. “He passionately loved his family, friends, and animals, and was devoted to the cause of the global poor. We are devastated and demolished to be without him.”
Heartbreaking. May his memory be a blessing.
