He will also be dearly missed by his sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law and all his nieces and nephews, the wider family circle, neighbours and friends.
John was born and raised in Ghleann Fhinne, which he had such a great love for, evident in all the Community Projects he helped to get financed locally.
He led a very full and remarkable life that will truly leave its mark on others.
John was a very loving dedicated husband and father whose children are honoured by his memory. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
