John will be sadly missed by all at The Birmingham Irish Association. This is where we enjoyed happy times reminiscing with John about his fond memories especially of his younger days spent in Ireland. We will miss his warm friendly smile and the twinkle in his eye, God bless you John.

Fond memories of lovely John, such a positive and calm chap, no matter what life threw at him. Always enjoyed our chats on the 50 on his way into the market, usually ended up laughing at something. So good then to see him at St Anne's and at St Dunstan's, looking great and always in good form. Will really miss his warmth and friendliness. RIP John, Bernie

Thank you for setting up this memorial to John. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
