I’m so sorry to hear about John, he was a lovely man x

I’m so sorry. I have years of memories of him for our whole childhood. He loved life and had a good one. ❤️

I will miss my Uncle John whom I saw as a loving and intelligent person. I will miss him because he had an influence on the person I became and therefore I am truly grateful. Tullan and Bill so glad you guys can be there and represent all of us who loved him and are not able to be at the funeral.

I am deeply saddened to hear about John. He was a dear friend to me. Just last week, I was thinking of him and planning to call him before Christmas.

John was a truly wonderful, intelligent, and kind man. We had such great times in Dublin, and I have countless happy memories of him here. I believe he enjoyed his time here too, extending his stay by another four years.

Before Dublin, John had many overseas posts. It always impressed me how many people from those countries visited him here. I recall a dinner at his house where the dining room felt like a United Nations assembly, with so many nationalities around the table. I was the Irish representative.

I am grateful that Elaine and I visited him during his last posting in Vancouver.  He was a wonderful man and a very good friend.
Our deepest condolences to you, Cindy, and your families. And, of course, our sympathies to Anne.

Our deepest condolences to you and the rest of the family!!! We all wish you and the family a lot of strength in these sad days!
With love from whole The Coosemans Family 🥲
