Last year my mom and I sat with John down at Horn Pond for an hour, talking about the old days, IA Club, Galway and much more. He was wearing a white button down short sleeve shirt, with his chain hanging. Looked terrific, and with a lot of swag and style. He remembered my mom, my mom remembered him. It was a terrific moment in time and we enjoyed it very much. Sorry I cannot make it today, sincere condolences from the Feeney Family!
