John Ring

How lucky was I to have such a wonderful brother? He was kind, generous and of course, very funny. I like to think that I taught him well but I cannot take any credit for his ability to make every one he had dealings with feel like they were so important and valued. He adored Clare and his children and I know they made him very happy. We will all miss him terribly. #legend

I just found out that John passed away. I dealt with John over several years on a business level but we always had time for a chat and I found John to be one of life's true heroes and an absolute gentleman at all times. I know he will be greatly missed by not only his family and friends but all the children that he looked after.

Deepest sympathy from Paul, Grainne and all at Flynn Signs & Display

Sadly missed by his past pupils and their parents. His sense of humor is one that will live on as it did until the end. John always had time for his students even if all they wanted was another story.

Deepest sympathy to the Ring family. John was a kind funny caring man who cherished his students. He will be sadly missed and remembered often from the staff and board of directors of Neillstown Credit Union

So so sad to hear the news of Johns passing, John was a true gent an amazing teacher and a joy to work with in my first year teaching in what was then archbishop Ryan NS, John was one as a learner young or old pupil or teacher you could ask anything and he would seek to reassure , inspire or indeed motivate you. Rest in peace dear sir I have no doubt you leave a special legacy in many a teacher, parent and child in Balgaddy and around the many towns and counties the many teachers who moved on from Archbishop Ryan moved on to.
To your beloved family left behind, he was one of a kind #agoodone RIP

thanks John for all the funny texts about Cork hurling, Im never deleting them

Words cannot express how sad I am learn of John's passing. Although I haven't seen him in many years, I always remember him as a true gentleman and good friend. I want to wish the Ring family my sincere condolences at this very heartbreaking time, and the strength to carry on somehow. Much love, Helen Teevan

I'll always treasure the times I met John at matches, races and Principals' meetings and nights out. He had a warmth and wit that was infectious. I can only hope his family can take comfort from the wonderful memories he has left them

RIP - a man that will never be forgotten. I feel so lucky and grateful that my life crossed paths with Mr.Ring (he was always 'Sir' to me and even as a passed pupil when I've met him I could never call him John it was 'sir' or 'Mr.Ring'). Deeply saddened by this news and send my condolences to all his family at this tough time. The man as a true gent and a legend. In 5th class as my teacher he went to powercity to get a cable for the tv to watch the World Cup that my friends is the little things that go a very long way... A teacher and a friend will be missed by all. X
