Dear Bridget, Deirdre, Kieran and all John´s family and friends. My deepest condolences to you on this huge loss. I have such fond memories of `John John´ when we were children at family get togethers in Essex. He was always such a character, even then. Sincere sympathies - I am thinking of you all.
