Johnny, with your passing we’ve lost that great smile, the stories, the laughs. You’ve left our world a lonely place, without you.
Thanks for so many memories.

Be at peace, now Johnny.

Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince;
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Rest in peace Jonny I remember the day you recruited myself and a couple of other lads from East Wall into the FCA 1970 proud to have known you as a friend.

So sorry to hear of Johnnys passing, he was a warm and kind hearted person with a ready laugh and always a good story to tell. It would be hard to find a more popular member of 7/65 Bn. Rest In Peace.

I was so saddened to hear of your passing Johnny. We have been friends and comrades for nearly thirty years. Being one of the early females recruited into the FCA I remember it was daunting at first.
However, I was to meet the kindest stalwart senior NCO, Sgt Johnny Delaney.
My sincere condolences to Johnny's partner and his family.
Johnny, a true soldier and my friend.
May you rest in peace.

So sad to hear of Johnny passing,I have some lovely memories over the years of our neighbour,rest in peace Johnny .

So sad to hear of Johnnies passing. He visited me in hospital in Drogheda when I was ill and I really appreciated it. He will be up above chatting with his Good Friend, the late Jim Lee who he affectionately called Goldilocks. RIP Johnnie.

I was very saddened to hear the death of my good friend John Delany. Johnny was a great worker and served in the committee of the 7/65 BN Association for a long time. He was always the first to volunteer for any task and always got results. As a keen photographer, he took a great number of photos through the years as a member of C Company 7th BN. He will be sadly missed.

So sad to hear of Johnny's passing. May he rest in peace.

Your banter, stories and jokes will be sadly missed Johnny, deepest condolences to family and friends. RIP Johnny

So long Johnny. We had some great times RIP

Deepest sympathy to Bernie on the passing of Johnny. He was a very dedicated and committed member of the 7 Inf Bn (FCÁ), an excellent and proficient photographer, a most pleasant comrade and generous to a T. The Good Lord obviously wanted a happy snapper up above. May his gentle soul rest in peace

We are so very sorry to hear of John’s passing. What a great character. Wonderful memories of his Mam Kathleen too, who was a good friend of my late Mam Kay. The light of heaven to you John may you Rest In Peace.

Just reading through the condolences - Johnny was one of those people for whom only positive things can be said - my own memories of Johnny are through his involvement in the Reserve are of a person who was always bubbly and positive, always had a story to tell, always had a view on any topic, always game for a good laugh and above all else loved his involvement in the Reserve. In summary - just a real nice pleasant person.
Johnny - rest in peace.

Very very sad to hear of Johnny’s passing. A character with lots of chat and stories who enjoyed his travels with friends like the late James Lee, always obliging and ready with the camera. R.I.P.

Johnny’s service and loyalty to the RDF and to all of his comrades and friends, was remarkable. Johnny will be missed. RIP Johnny.
