John Whelan

To Tina, Pat and Peter,

Offering our deepest sympathies to you on Uncle John's passing. He was so full of fun and what a duo he and Aunty Claire made. He was such an amazing man and I will always remember him for being so full of fun and for the enviable range of interests he pursued - travelling, cooking, photography, gardening - the list goes on. No doubt a huge reason why he was always so young at heart. I hope you guys do ok over the coming months. May he rest in peace.

All our love, Anthony & Eavan Gaffney

Dear Tina, Pat & Peter,

My sincere condolences to you all on the passing of your lovely Dad John. He & Clare were so kind to Mum especially after Dad died. They were always looking out for her. They were both lovely neighbours. I know how difficult this time is for all of you. I hope memories of your Dad & of course your Mum will comfort you all at this sad time.
On behalf of the Moorhead family.

"Good night sweet Prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest". You and Clare will always be in our hearts. Terry & Pat.

On behalf of the Chairman, Board and staff of Mental Health Ireland a brief note to remember John’s extraordinary and sustained commitment to improving mental health and the quality of life for people with lived experience. For so many years, John generously gave his time and many talents to making a real difference.

He was a gentleman and a wonderful friend to people when they most needed a good and loyal friend, RIP.

My deepest sympathies to all the Whelan family on the passing of John.

John and my father, Tony, were great childhood friends and had a special bond throughout their lives. Not so long ago, I had the great privelage of listening to John's story-telling skills when he recounted their antics as kids in Cork and Waterford. Tony passed away on 29th May last - they are with each other again.

John was a real gentleman and a scholar - May he rest in peace.

Our deepest sympathy to Tina, Pat and Peter and the Whelan family. I have many happy memories of times with John and Clare in Rathfarnham. Always enjoyed Johns stories and still tell them to my kids.
