Sorry to hear of Johns Death. He was a lovely man and got involve in the community soon after returning to Castleconnor taking the role of treasurer for the community centre, he was the first to produce typed monthly accounts, a man ahead of times! He was also positive and supportive as I got to grips as a young chair person. My sympathy to Sally and extended Durkin & Burfoot families, May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to you Sally, Alan, Karl, Hannah, Diane and to John’s extended family & friends & to his dear neighbours & to the wider community, on the sad passing of John.
John always showed me true kindness & gentleness for the short few years that I got to know him, to me he was a profoundly intelligent man, whose work was marked by meticulous precision, and a deep, well-deserved self-pride. I will miss you John.
May your soul and the souls of all those gone before you, rest in eternal peace x🕯️
