Sincere sympathies to Gretta, John, June, Gary, Eoghan and the extended Nelson family on the loss of John (or JJ as he was known around Ballyconnell in his youth). We were honoured to have John as a friend - he was so kind & considerate and a thorough gentleman. John was on the first team fielded by Clonmore GFC after foundation in December 1947. The last link with that team is now gone but he will not be forgotten. Solas na bhFlaitheas ar a anam dílis.
