Sad to hear of his passing, he is remembered always. Thousands of children were evacuated from London during the blitz of ww2. John was one of them and was welcomed into the RC parish of the Twelve Apostles in Leigh, Lancashire. On behalf of the former pupils who remember John Ronane during those very difficult times, may I offer sincere condolences. Sorry for your loss. Rest in peace our old school friend John.

I worked with John on a short film in the early 1980's. It was the first work on camera I had ever done. John really looked after and started to teach me how work on screen. A true gentleman helping a young actor the way he did. Go well John, you will be much missed x

So sorry to hear of John's passing. I met him briefly in the 70's when he was in Ireland starring in a film. RIP John.

Back here in the uk John was a legend with a face everyone knew but a name they couldn't remember . To list the work he did would take a lifetime as his acting talents were so diverse and fruitful . All that can be said is there was only one John Ronane but had ten thousand faces . RIP John we loved you ....

Very sorry to learn of John's death. He always stood out in the many supporting roles he had in myriad television shows in my youth, despite sharing the screen with bigger names. A face, and an actor, from my teenage TV viewing years that has always stayed with me. Condolences to his family.

Carole,
Very glad that you had time together. I'm sorry to say that I kept missing John when I would stop by his office at U of I, but I kept track of his good deeds in the paper and updates through Mom (Arlene). My prayers are with you.

I remember how much John enjoyed my three children when we visited. John was very personable. My kids still say today, "Isn't he the one who gave us cans of Coke?" I remember John wanting to engage me in a game of billiards. What a visit that was. Carole, we love you. -The Morrows
