On behalf of Alison and our children I offer sincere condolences to you,Angela, and your family on the loss of John. I only met him twice, once as the wee quiet fellow (him not me) at your wedding all those years ago(1972?), and then on your last visit to Ireland when it was as if we knew him all our lives,such was his warmth, and interest in our family. Thinking of you all at this time.xx
