Not sure what to say?

John, it was an honor to have known you. Your banter and craic during Celtic matches will be something that I will never forget. You will be deeply missed by all of the Bhoys. You’ll Never Walk Alone!

We wish to extend our deepest condolences to the family of John. It was our distinct pleasure of knowing John as our neighbor. We will always remember him as a wonderful person, who always shared a smile and kind words with everyone. He will be missed.

Great wee man John, you'll by missed by all the Bhoys at the Molly Maguires CSC in Havertown where we were lucky enough to enjoy your company and fun watching the Celtic games over the past years. R.I.P. , Conny

I only knew John through watching the Celtic the past 10 years or so, we used to meet once or twice a week in Paddy Roooney's bar to watch his beloved Celtic.
He was a wee character and never lost that glesga accent and loved nothing more than screaming at his least favourite Celtic players on the telly.
We used to have many laughs with that group in the pub.
My funniest memory is seeing him leaning over Paddy's bar head first rummaging in Paddy's trash can retreiving the ring tops...

a true friend, who could make you feel good by just being in his company.he will be sadly missed.
