Many years ago, John took the time to explain to me the intricacies of flying into Castlebridge. Even then, I knew he was a special man. He had a rare gift for making the complex feel simple, and an even rarer gift for making people feel at ease. A caring, generous, and infectious soul, whose company was always a pleasure and a privilege. His memory will stay with me, and with all who were lucky enough to know him.

Go mbeadh tú i gcónaí ar dheis Dé, a Sheáin.
