Sending our sincere condolences and love to you Kathy, Seán, Brian, Kelly Ann, Conor, Kate, Caroline and Dermot on the loss of your wonderful husband, Dad and doting Grandad. We loved meeting John every summer in Mt.Uniacke. He had a wonderful presence and loved filling us in on how you were all doing, especially his Grandchildren. We will miss him. We will keep you all and John in our prayers. His faith was evident always. He did a lot of good deeds. He was thoughtful and we always appreciated that he took time to email us. I think St. Peter should take a seat, as John will have a lot to say.
God Bless you.
