Special thanks to the Arklow Ambulance Crew, the Advanced Paramedics, the Gardaí & the Arklow Community First Responders for their kindness & compassion on the night John passed away. Thanks also to Dr. Nick Buggle & his team at Sheltonville Surgery for their care over the years & to Ferrybank Careplus Pharmacy for many years of great service.

We will be forever grateful to our extended families, our wonderful neighbours & our dear friends for your kindness, generosity & incredible support throughout this difficult time. Thanks also to the management & staff of Mount Jerome Crematorium & to all at John Sweeney & Sons Funeral Directors.

As it would be impossible to acknowledge our thanks individually, we trust that this acknowledgement will be accepted by all as a token of our sincere appreciation.
