Such a privilege and so much fun to have known John over so many years, the life and soul of any gathering, even a cuppa tea could turn into a party.

John you were well loved by so many, Rest In Peace xxx

We offer our sincere condolences to John`s family and to Chris.
Johnny and his Hurricanes played at our wedding- who else!
Great memories of world class music, and great fun, all carried out with professional star quality- Rest in Peace.

So sorry to hear of Johns passing. We knew him from his time in Ardamine and was always so much fun ! Condolences to his family.

Our sincere condolences Chris to you and all John's family

I knew JT for a few years at Stradbrook. He was just a terrific person and so very engaging.
I am very sorry to hear that he has left the stage but so grateful to have known him !
Deepest and warmest condolences to his family on a great loss.

Chris, so sorry to hear about Johnny (only heard recently). My condolences go to you and the family. May he Rest in Peace.

A kind,decent ,funny and talented man.

My deepest sympathy to all of John’s family. I have known John since watching him dive off the 10m platform in Blackrock Baths in the early 60’s. There was never a dull moment in his company and although we occasionally lost contact over the years he was great at keeping in touch. You will be sadly missed John.

John T you wonderful Man!

Thank you for your loving friendship for all those years. I will miss the bear hugs and belly laughs. A night out with you was guaranteed fun. I loved your zest for life. Your charisma was infectious and such a joy. You were a true gentleman with impeccable manners.

I send my heartfelt love and hugs to your six wonderful children. You adored them and spoke of them all the time. You were a very proud Dad indeed.

What I know for sure John is that they broke the mould when they made you. There will never ever be another like you again!

How lucky we all were to have had you for so long in our lives. You will always be greatly missed.

Rest in peace my darling friend x

John..my friend for over 50 years!. Thank you for your irrepressable humour and the magnificent memories. Your death leaves a massive vacuum in our lives. Those '3 steps to heaven' you will take in one bound!! Bren ONeill (Big Dan).

Wow, fancy that. I knew John for the last 20 years, and even though we were both Conleth’s boys and I probably rocked up to one of his Magnet gigs in the 70s, I was never aware that he was Hurricane Johnny.

What a treat now to go to YouTube and discover the rock star.

In his latter years John was a great fixer-upper of buildings, and always so polite and accommodating. Like everyone else says, John was a true gentleman, and I'm going to miss him.

So sad to hear of Johnnys passing he was good craic always had something to say thinking of Chris and the family at this sad time

My sincere sympathy and condolence to Chris and extended family.

He got me through my club years playing the old rugby in Blackrock good memories.

I have known John for 20 years.. Never a dull moment, he never lost an opportunity to make people laugh or to enquire as to how we were. He is one of a kind and has left wonderful memories behind. He played at my 50th and 60th birthday parties which I held jointly with Kingsley Aikins. Had him lined up for the 70th too...RIP JT

We had some wonderful times with great memories over the years with his family and friends.He will be sadly missed.

Deepest sympathy to all the family. From Ardamine holidays as kids, then on to school, then to rugby, and then to listening to his amazing music - wonderful wonderful memories of John.

Such a lovely man, and such great craic. I'm very sorry to hear news of Johnny's death. He coached me from time to time, at Trinity, and I'd bump into him at the occasional Conleth's past pupil's dinner. He went much more regularly than me - he loved those nights. My sincere condolences.

Sincere sympathy to all of John's family from Dublin University Football Club. John was a great Trinity rugby man and twice past President of the club, he will be greatly missed.

Very sad to hear of John’s passing. Many happy memories of his visits to BB, Blackrock & latterly DNS. Eve, Conor and Mia send sincere condolences to Padraig and to all John’s family.

What a shock - deepest sympathy to all the Terry family. Unquestionably the best prop forward I played with at "Rock" - even though I dropped him for the 1976 Cup final!....but he was an even better entertainer. Profuse thanks John for enriching so many lives. "Great Balls of Fire" will never sound the same again.

Sincere condolences to all the Terry family. I have so many fond memories of John. It was fun all the way. May he rest in peace.

I'd like to extend my sympathy to Chris, Siobhan, Shane and all the Terry family.
Thanks, John for coaching the 3rdBs back in '86, for the trips to Mallorca, for the songs and jokes. One great memory I have is you singing "The Hoochie Coochie Man", playing a busker's guitar late one night on a street in Santa Ponsa.

Sincere sympathy to Chris and all John’s family.Corry was reminiscing about John very recently . It is so sad to hear of his death.

I was so sad to hear of John's passing. Such a lovely man, a true gentleman and great company. John we will all miss you. My sincere sympathy to Padraig and all John's family. May he Rest in Peace.

I am saddened to learn of the passing of John. I had the benefit of his tutelage on the rugby pitches while at Trinity. Fond memories. God Bless.

Sat beside him in school for 12 years great guy never changed

Cheers old friend

Nobody who shared a stage for 19 years, as I did, with the great Hurricane could ever forget him. He was a true force of nature, and a legendary performer. A man with a golden voice. There were nights when the tears rolled down my face with laughter and that was before we even took to the stage. You were one of a kind Hurro. It was a privilege to be your rhythm guitarist. I am so pleased that we shared the stage one last time at Christmas. I bet they wear blue suede shoes in Heaven !!

So saddened to hear of the passing of John. An absolute gentleman. The best parties were the Hurricane Johnny & the Jets parties. I’ll never forget my 21st in ‘Rock when he kindly played. Rest in Peace John. My thoughts are with all the family.

Sorry to hear of John's passing. We have fond memories of great football matches and fun in the cul de sac. Sue,Shane,Sarah, Katie and James we have many fond memories of you all. Our sincere sympathies. Ray and Bernadette and gang.

A legend of a man may he rest in peace

Farewell to John, a true gent. RIP. Sincere sympathy to his family.

Rock on Huro!

So sorry to hear of Johns passing. I have such great memories of the Speedboat Adventures in Ardamine, and the fantastic Hurricane at many a Sailing club evening. May you rest in peace John, from all the Quigley’s in Ardamine.

Rip John Terry what a pleasure it was to know him. Will miss him calling in.
