Although I had not seen John in person for some time, I always knew he was at the end of the phone if I needed a listening ear. John played a key role in campaigning for the rights of disabled people and their families over many years, He was passionate about working with others to bring about systemic and sustainable change in MDI, GDIL, IWA and ILMI.
Equally, John was a friend who will be missed by me and his friends in the disabled community. Thank you John for your wisdom and your witty sense of humour. I would like to extend my sympathy to John's children, his mother, his extended family, his Personal Assistants and his many friends.
Rest in peace John. .

Sincere sympathy to all John’s family and friends. He was a good friend and valued colleague in ESBI many years ago. May he rest in peace.
Deepest, heartfelt, sympathies to Peter and all the Roche Family. John was always such a gentle, gracious and welcoming presence. In my memories of him in school days - he was both interesting; and, always so interested in others. And crossing paths later in life he had a remarkable memory for all - and such a genuine personal way. He will be deely missed I know - as he was so much loved. May he rest in peace - and shower his family with his blessings. Always.
Thanks so much for such a moving and fitting ceremony at the church yesterday. I've known John since we were teenagers through my cousins Dónal and Philip. Such a lovely guy, and always smiling through everything life threw at him. Yesterday was so sad and so great at the same time.. I feel honoured to have been there and lucky that I've known John in my lifetime. RIP
I was so sorry to hear of John's death. My sincere sympathy to all his family. I worked with him for a number of years in ESBI, he was a creative, friendly and positive person, always willing to undertake any task.
John was an amazing man, he was determined, smart, kind, patient and an inspiration to us all. I can't believe he is gone and will miss him a lot. I attended the beautiful mass today and can see that his great sense of humor runs in the family, it was lovely to see John in you all! My deepest condolences to you all, and we will miss him so much on the board at MDI, Una.
Such a side time for John's family, friends and all who knew him. I had the pleasure of working with John over many years at PUNCH. He was the very essence of the analytical structural engineer with such an abiding sense of curiosity of how to defy gravity! He leaves a lasting impression on the built environment in the bridges and buildings he designed.
But it is legacy as an intelligent, humorous, loving and compassionate man that I will most remember, he was and remains a role model for us all. Sincerest sympathies to all John's family, may he rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to John's family at this very sad time. John was a truly inspirational colleague and friend. I don't ever recall him letting his condition ever get in his way during all the time I worked alongside him in PUNCH. He was a fountain of knowledge who we all regularly turned too for advice on the complex and seemingly impossible engineering problems which he so easily solved for us with gusto and joy. May he rest in peace.
We are so sorry to hear the sudden, sad news about John. We have so many wonderful memories of our times with John, especially getting to know him in Cambridge - where his warmth and humour were ever present - whether hosting a gathering, discussing his fabulous dome (topic of his PhD), acting as our Best Man, or indeed any and all situations. John will be missed by so many people. Our sincere and deepest condolences to all of John’s family and friends.

We are deeply saddened to hear of John's death. We got to know him through Richard Young, while they were studying together at Cambridge, and he became a special family friend. John had such warmth and optimism. He was always upbeat and enlivened many a family get-together with his hilariously dry sense of humour. We will especially remember his smile and the cheeky glint in his eye! We will miss him dearly and we send our heartfelt condolences to all of his family at this sad time.
