John was a true gent. I was privileged that he gave me the opportunity to work along side him on the GAA scene, his attention to detail was second to none. A real Gael and his knowledge of football was unquestionable. John was a great support and positive influence to every person that he coached or mentored. His passion for sport was infectious. John you will be truly missed by myself and every one that knew you.
There will only ever be one JBL

My sincere condolences to John’s family and friends.
