  1. Today l say goodbye to John who was once a very special part of my life. We shared six years together, during that time we created many memories, challenges, happy times and moments that l will always remember. Although our lives eventually took different paths, that doesn’t erase the years we shared or the place you held in my life. I hope you are now at peace. May you rest peacefully. Goodbye, and thank you for the six years we shared.

  2. Thank you John for those awesome playlists you made for us in quality control to keep us all chipper on night shift.
    Your choice of great music made a Hard Day’s Night far more pleasant.
    Vale John Dwyer.

  3. My lovely cousin John. I remember you best as a teenager and was so happy to reconnect with you as an adult and a dad. You, Terry and Nicky were always kind to me when I was a little silly cousin and I loved you for it. I will always remember you warmly in my heart.

  5. Wish you could have stayed a little longer, a great friend, companion and neighbour. The music fests and karaoke were next level. Legend. Miss you already, a huge loss for everyone who was lucky enough to know you xx

  6. Your been our best friend for so long. 25 or more years.
    I wish I had just one more chance to see that smile before the angels came.
    We made so many memories, they will never fade.
    So much I could write about, it would take hours.
    I miss you
    A cherished friend forever

  7. Though I couldn’t be there today in person,
    I felt as if I was.
    Those that lived and breathed your stories with you today,
    are filled with swirling feelings of grief and reminiscence
    enough to make us burst with tears of sadness and joy.
    Today was a day to honour you, it’s your day
    and we will celebrate the true presence you had.
    You may never know that the time you spent with others,
    Well, people are honoured to have known and been a part of your world.
    I am truly blessed to have been able to have
    seen the light you bring to all,
    hear about the life your brought to all,
    felt the feelings you created for all.
    But I am not lucky enough to have known you for a lifetime.
    I am merely a spot in the wonderful existence you lived.
    You loved, you brought generosity, you forgave, you lived life, you were happy.
    Thank you for welcoming me into the family,
    John, PJ, you will never be forgotten as you live on in the smiles and memories of family and friends.
