    I am still in shock over this. I have been reading all the tributes and it seems that he was the same kind, generous and genuine person to everyone he encountered. I walked past the surgery yesterday and can't help but think i'll never go in there again and see his smiling face and feel instantly better.

    RIP Dr. John

    You know it is not often you come by people like John and Eithne, I have always felt privileged to have them as my family G.P. When I got the news about John I was deeply saddened and I can only imagine the immense pain and grief his family are going through. I have never come across Doctors so welcoming attentive and friendly, John will be sorely missed by all his patients and community in Maynooth. Eithne may be comforted by knowing that all here in Maynooth are thinking of her and little Emma and hope that somehow they will have the strength to get through this. I just feel thankful that I have had a chance to meet this family.

    Just heard this, God it's horrific, I have to say he was just the nicest Doctor I have ever met, really kind and caring who made you feel at ease in his company. He is going to be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.

    In shock since I heard the news today. John was professional, thorough, patient, kind and a gentleman to his finger tips. My thoughts are with Eithne and her family. Thinking of Nicole in the surgery also. May John rest in peace. God bless and God speed.

    Gone but never forgotten.

    To have known John, I feel blessed. To have worked for him, I feel privileged.

    John and Eithne had done so much for me in the last two years. Two of the kindest, most generous people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Excellent doctors and truly caring people in every aspect. They were more than my work colleagues, they were my friends.

    I'll cherish the fond memories I have of working alongside you both. I'll forever remember John's tales and quirky anecdotes. He'll always have a special place in my heart.



    Rest in peace, John

    I was so saddened to hear this lastnight :( I always presumed when I move back to Kildare that he would be my doctor again. Such a lovely, kind, funny, sweet man and a great doctor. All of my old college friends and housemates in Maynooth went to him. RIP John. My thoughts are with his wife and little girl.

    Also in shock here.Only heard this today at lunchtime.Hes been our family doctor for years and the best doctor Ive ever visited.

    Was in with him Christmas week with one of my daughters and had him reading a thread here on boards that I pointed him towards while the surgery was full to bursting--Always loved that about him--he was never a quick in/quick out type Doctor..always made you feel that he actually cared about his patients.


    RIP.

    Only heard this awful news this morning. Can't believe it.:(:(:( John was one of the nicest people and one of the best doctors I've ever met. He was so genuine and kind and always made time to see how you really were since he last seen you. nothing was too much trouble.
    I am heartbroken for Eithne - and So sorry not to have been there to pay my respects. Such a special couple and you could tell how much they loved and respected each other. Eithne and Emma will be in my prayers always x

    I only saw this thread now, I can't believe it. Absolute gentleman and a great doctor, he will be missed.

    I only heard about this last night and I am still in shock. John was by far the best and most caring doctor I've ever met. He was brilliant everytime we brought our kids in and was always talking about his own little girl Emma. My thoughts are with his family.
    Rest in peace John.
