I have fond memories of being brought to John's trad sessions as soon as we got off the plane. He was always so encouraging and I ended up playing the whistle for my leaving cert exams years later, which was unheard of in Australia. What a legacy he has left - you should all be so proud of your dear dad. May his soul rest in peace.
May John's gentle soul rest in peace.
' Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear'.
My sincere sympathy to you Mary and family on the death of your beloved John may his soul rest in peace prayers and hugs to you all at this sad time Delia

It is with deep regret we hear of Johns passing, The memories from Crossmolina BNS come flooding back, The Boys National School Band, the football competitions, A Special, etc.… his ease at which he imparted his knowledge to us and the impact he has had on generations of Crossmolina pupils cannot be over stated. A múinteoir speisialta, Will miss his big smile and Hello. Mhúnlaigh sé meonta, croithe agus spioraid scoláirí Crois Mhaoilíona i gcaitheamh na mblianta. Fathach fir.
