Very Reverend John Sweetman

So shocked and sad to hear of the sad passing of Fr John (RIP) he was a very kind, caring person. Our thoughts & prayers are with his family at their sad loss.

My sincere sympathy at this very sad time

Very saddened to hear about Fr. John's passing. I have never forgotten his kindness in taking time out of his itinerary to visit me while I was in India in 1984 and his genuine welcome to me on returning to Wexford.

fr john you were a breath of fresh air you will be sadly missed

I remember John very well in Maynooth and was deeply saddened by his death. Always a very friendly , kind and thoughtful person who is now with the Lord he sought to serve so well. May he rest in peace.

I am so shocked to hear of John's death. I did some work with him many years ago and I did not see him for a number of years, but his gentleness and caring left a lasting impression on me. He was a true gentleman, with a big heart and a caring nature. May he rest peacefully in the deep peace of the quiet earth.

It is a with a heavy heart that I write this concerning my old and gentle giant, friend, John, but I do know that John is now resting in the peaceful and all understanding hands of "The Good Lord".
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs.Sweetman and all the family.
