Dear Marie,Ina,Aine,Sean & family,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. John was a very dear friend of my husband Peter. They worked together for over 27 years.

I will always remember John for his quick wit and uncanny sense of humor and distinctive brogue.

John, you will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Dear Marie and family
John was one of a kind. A good friend who I will miss alot. I worked with him for 25 years at Marshalls. He was always the first one to greet me in the morning. I loved his stories and he had many! God Bless.
