John J. Downes

Sincere Sympathy to Zach, nieces and nephews on the passing of John. Much loved by all.
Rest in Peace John.

It was with great sadness that we learned of our Uncle John´s passing. One of life´s true gents. He was one of nine siblings & though he spent his lifetime in New York he maintained fantastic contact down through the years with thoughtful cards & visits to Ireland.

With the failing health of his older siblings, when contact mattered most, he made annual visits home to see them. He always came laden with gifts and we always loved them despite our protestations! Zach was like another member of the family & we loved hearing of their exciting cruises & what shows they had seen on Broadway.

Zach, we are very grateful for the great care you took of Uncle John. It shows what a great judge of character Uncle John was, as he knew he´d find no better a companion and friend than you. We know that too.

Rest in peace Uncle John. Deepest sympathy to family and friends especially Zach. Adrian Downes and family (Oregon USA)
