Heartfelt sympathy to Dorothy, Cari and family from all of us. John and Dorothy visited us here in Killaloe many years ago, during an Irish vacation with our cousins, George and Mary Ellen Nedved. He was a great character and we still treasure the memory of that day.
May he rest in peace.

The highest compliment I can give to Uncle Jack is that he was just like his Father: Very kind, helpful, loved his family very much and never said a bad word about anyone. He was always very nice to my Mother, Rose Ellen (his sister). To Aunt Todd and and my O'connor cousins I am truly sorry for your loss.
