John O'Mahony Adams

On behalf of Dick Doran Killeighter and all the Doran family , I would like to express our great sadness at the passing of John. He was a frequent visitor over the years, and we especially appreciated the wonderful violin tribute John played when our mother Dorothy died in 2018. May he rest in peace.

Adieu, John. Tu étais un être à part, et je suis honorée que nos Chemins se soient croisés. Puisses - tu trouver la paix que tu cherchais. Longue vie à ton esprit libre et facétieux !

Sincere condolences to Pauline on the sad passing of John. You remain in our thoughts. May John rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of John’s passing. Sincere sympathies to all the family. He was part of Scoil Choca Naofa for many years maintaining the school aquarium, known by the children as "the happy fish man" because of his aquatic enthusiasm and knowledge and cheerful disposition.

Sincere sympathy to John’s partner Pauline, to John’s children, my cousins, Miriam, Miranda, Pandora, Sam, Toby, their partners and their children, John’s grandchildren. Sincere sympathy also to John’s sister Margaret, her husband Richard and family, John’s nieces and nephews.

We really appreciated being able to join the service at St Coca’s, it was a very moving tribute to John and captured the real essence of the man he was.

We all grew up in London so many years ago now yet we all shared a love for Ireland instilled in us by our parents.

Rest in peace, John…gone too soon.

I had the pleasure of meeting John a few times on the 115 Bus Éireann route between Kilcock and Dublin and really enjoyed his vibrant conversation and company. It was an enriching experience. He spoke passionately. The depth of his love for his family and children shone through.
Pauline, I only ever met yourself and John the once for a coffee. Wishing you peace, serenity and a steady mind in the wake of JOMA's passing.

I have only, in the last hour, heard of John's death and am very saddened by the news. Sincere sympathy to his family. Rest in peace John.

So sorry to hear of John,s passing. A great musician would have played at our wedding. May he rest in peace

Sincere sympathies to all of John family I had the great pleasure of meeting him through work and he was always a pure gentleman. Rest In Peace.

John was a legend, and one of the great characters of the orchestra .. we remember him for his kindness, generosity, warmth of spirit, and encouragement that he showed us when we were the newest and youngest members .
Rest in Peace John

Our sincere condolences to Pauline and John’s family at this most saddest of times. John was, at times, a bigger than life character and we were all the richer for that.

We grew up with John and his sister Margaret, albeit us in Shepherds Bush and they in Tottenham, London. Our County Cork born parents had arrived in London in 1947 and John’s parents, Sid and Nora (our mother’s maternal aunt) put them up for the first year or so. The Adams’, looking back, were an important and most welcome fixture of our lives growing up as first generation London Irish. Our mother, in her later life and widowed, was able to return that generosity when she welcomed John as a guest on his concert tours to Cork. They had both returned to Ireland, kith and kin.

My deepest sympathy to John’s family at this sad time. May he Rest In Peace.

Condolences. Very sad news. John was so kind towards me as a young musician in RTE, I remember him, and those times, so fondly. I took a drive by his home tonight and offered a prayer for this soul. May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to Pauline and John's family. A true gentleman may he rest in peace.

.Dear Margaret
Sad to hear of the passing away of your brother John, RIP

Our deepest sympathy to Pauline on the passing of John.You are in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

We first encountered John when he visited our very old house in France in the early 1990s. He fell in love with the place and a few years ago he put down some roots there too. During all the years we knew him, he always called me 'Elizabeth' until a last email from him around Christmas. Every single time we think of him it will be to remember meals and his music on our terrace, or a jaunt together around the cycle paths of the Vendee when he acquired his set of e-wheels. John took such pleasure from conversations when nothing was pressing for time. We covered many topics and we particularly enjoyed all the family news sharing. His talents for restoration were immense and that twinkle when a job was complete will not be forgotten. We never managed to coincide with you Pauline when we visited France. We know that this will be really difficult for you and for John's children. Our thoughts are with you all.

Sincere condolences to the family of John. He was a wonderful man, who lived life to the fullest. Rest in peace John
