My sincere condolences for the whole family. John was very nice to me at Johanna's wedding and I share you sadness for his loss. I do believe in the saying: ''the real grave of the dead if the heart of the living'', and I am sure that John will be a loving memory in the heart of anybody who knew him. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Dear Cathy, Mairead, Geraldine & Martina and all the family, I am so sorry to hear of your unexpected great loss. It's hard to believe. Growing up in Glenfarne I remember John and my brother Brendan riding bikes together and getting into mischief together. He was a lovely guy, always with a big smile. My sincere condolences to all of you.
