Dear Rita and the entire Carney family, our sincere thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. What a kind and loving man your dad was.

A kind and truly gentle man. My condolences to the Carney family. Tootie Reilly Stark

Our deepest sympathy on the loss of John. A great, kind, soft-spoken gentleman, If there every was one.

All here were saddened to hear of Uncle Johnny's passing. He is now with his beloved wife Maureen. They were such a lovely gentle and devoted couple. Uncle Johnny had the most wonderful smile. We have great memories of their many trips to Ireland. Our deepest sympathies to Bernie and all our cousins. May his gentle soul rest in peace... Anne, Tony and family..
