May God rest Fr Butler now
He was a kind, generous, friendly face always to those of us who passed through Pallas.
And you could have fun with him too, about any matter and in depth about his own beloved politics. He was a very good Christian in truth

Very fond memories of Fr Butler from his time teaching at Pallaskenry in the sixties. Fr Butler (or Johnny Butt as he was affectionally referred to) was an excellent educator who treated all he encountered with the greatest respect. He was held in very high esteem by all the pupils at Pallaskenry and was always spoken of very fondly by past pupils. The end of an era and the celebration of a life well lived. I was fortunate to meet him in Pallaskenry in January 2020 and to express my appreciation for his work as a teacher and a friend to all. My sincere condolences to his family and friends and to the Salesian Community.

Both teacher and Principal of our school, Fr. John's steadfast belief in the value of education given in the Salesian tradition of loving kindness, brought him from Limerick to Africa. Sharp, insightful, broad minded and full of energy, his mark on our school, during and after his school career, is deeply impactful.
