John will be greatly missed. A kind and gentle man. Will miss the chats and pottering around the garden, especially with those hedges. RIP ......

I was so saddened to hear of Johns Passing. I have wonderful and precious memories of many weekend trips to Bray with my Aunt Anne Doyle to visit our Dear Uncle Jim Dawson and on many occasions the three of us meeting John for a pint of the black stuff. The stories we shared and the laughs we had will remain with me forever. Rest in peace dear John. Xx

Condolences to all of John's relations on his passing. May his gentle soul rest in peace

Blacklion has lost another amazing resident in the last number of months. Three lifelong neighbours, Mrs Kinsella, Ellen Lawless and now John Whiston, three great characters and extremely familiar faces in Blacklion. There will never be the likes of them again !!!
Rest in peace John, your work on earth is done.
May the sod rest easy on your gentle soul.

We are so saddened to hear about John .
He was a much loved customer of ours over the years. We will miss the chats and the banter. Our condolences to all of John's family especially Jean Brady who we know will miss him dearly. God bless you John, rest peacefully xx

Whilst I will remember John for his good nature, I will also remember him for his tenacity when it came to keeping his hedges in check.

Most of us struggle to get a level cut, even with the most modern of gadgets, but John with his failing eyesight would take his clippers & ladder (both of which I suspect to have been older than John himself), and make light work of the Griselinia, leaving the straightest cuts you are ever likely to see!

Rest in peace John.

On behalf of all the Kinsella family (the coal yard Blacklion) we would like to offer our sincere condolences to John's family on his passing. He was a lovely man who will be greatly missed. Rest in peace now John in your heavenly home.

So sorry for your loss, such a gentleman and lovely neighbour.
