Not sure what to say?

just the other day, al chambers and i were fondly remembering john. certainly if he were here today he would be posting MANY MANY valentines. :>)

John´s stories were the best. Over the years, many of them ended up in the Tinytown Gazette. One in particular involved a suspicious hole in one at the Hingham golf course. Goodbye to a man with a heart of gold.

John was a great guy and so much fun. My condolences to his family and his brother Seamus. RIP

I met John three plus years ago when I needed to go to Harbor House for my care. I found out that he was a campaign manager/supporter of State Representative Mary Jeanette Murray of Cohasset, where I have lived all my life. I am a 3rd generation Cohasset native and a neighbor Mary Jeanette and her Husband Phil. So, we had a connection the
re. We went to lunch everyday in the downstairs lunch room and had lots of good talks and became friends.
He will be sadly missed by me and all...

john was a wondeful friend and "charmer" to so many.
Altho, Ireland was his birthright , so evidenced in that inimitable
Galic accent, his loyalty and patriotism to the US never wavered.
His joi de vie and that "laugh" so often overshadowed an intelligent,
sensitive gentleman. We will not forget him.
