In rememberance of Johnny, the Ballinasloe Fair will never be the same again without your presence 25 consecutive years. Will always think of you as I pass Joe's and imagine I see your grey head inside the window. How you loved meeting the "lads" and going back over old times every year.

I am so very sorry to hear about your Dad. I had spoken to you on Friday and was never told that he had passed away. I'm so upset that I wasn't informed soon enough to attend the services. Having lost my Dad last year I know how much it hurts. If you need more time don't hesitate to call. Iam deeply sorry.
