Further condolences have remembered his character and kindness. “Johnny carried out some work for me a number of years ago. He was the most conscientious, capable and obliging man I ever met. No job was too big, too small or too awkward to cause him to frown,” one condolence said.
“Fond recollections of him at school in Kiltoghert long ago, when he was a lovely little lad in his chocolate brown knitted sweater. May he now be reunited once again with his beautiful family in heaven and may he continue to watch over those who will miss him so much,” said another.
