Sincere condolences to Johnny, Tim, Alicia and young John on the sad passing of your beloved dad and grandad. Also condolences to his wider family and friends. John was a wonderful man and we all got to know him and his dear sister Helen on their early trips to Ireland. They were so loved by everyone over here and were so proud of their Mayo ancestry. When we moved over to NJ in late '80s John was so kind to us and always had that great welcome for us. So Rest in Peace John.
