John Grace

Geraldine , just heard the news of John’s passing , my deepest sympathy to you & the entire family. A lot of memories for us all at this time.
“ I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;

Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,

And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,

Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;

There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,

And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day

I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;

While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,

I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

So sorry to hear of John’s sudden passing. Deepest sympathy to Martin, Seamie and all the Grace Family. RIP.

Dear Geraldine and family. I guess I am a blast from the past. I saw John's death notice on RIP I.e and recognized immediately that it was your John. So sad Geraldine. Remembering John with fondness when he came to pick you up for a long lunch when you guys were dating,from your dad's Betting shop in Grove St. Roscrea. All my love and memories, Geraldine, John and girls, to Geraldine and your boys and partners. Bless you all.

So very sorry and shocked to hear of John's passing. It was indeed a pleasure to have known John when in First Active. Sincerest condolences to Geraldine and all the family. May he rest in peace. 🙏

Sincere sympathy to Geraldine & family on the sad passing of John. I have lots of happy memories of working with John in AIB Roscrea. He was always full of life. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of John’s departure so prematurely. He was a great friend to both of us in Roscrea & Nenagh in the 70s/ 80s.He was a kind patient, humorous man talented in many ways but never laughed at people, always with them. For us the song that brings him to mind is “Jerusalem” with a belting rendering.. To Geraldine and the boys our deepest sympathies and to all the Grace family. There will always be lovely reminders. We know this phrase is often used of people but of John you can say with real feeling; “ Ní fheicimíd a leithéid arís!”

Sincere sympathy to family of John Grace. Very much regret that I was unable to attend funeral. I can still see and hear him playing the part of Mr Bumble in Oliver .

My deepest sympathy to Geraldine and the Grace family on the untimely death of John RIP. I put the pen in John's hand when he came to work in AIB Kilrush and we had many great days and nights in West Clare while there. We both moved on but met often mainly through Inter Bank hurling. He was very skilful an extremely fast. In 1975 we had the honour of representing AIB against London in the Wembley games. John was a sub that day and replaced the great Eddie Keher at half time. He was thrilled to see the match report on the following days paper say Grace replaces Keher on the AIB team. The odd time he would explain that Eddie was playing for Kilkenny against Limerick in the following game. John was great fun, a great singer and loved life when we toured in those days. I am very sad to see that John has passed and hope that Geraldine and his family know how well he was thought of by his many friends. May his soul rest in peace. Tony Gleeson Templederry and Ennis.
