Thank you for the lovely tribute. I only found out this morning he had passed...my radio turned on and I woke up to his lilting voice on an NPR radio show, and I settled into my pillow to listen. Then the host said he had died in January, and this was the last interview he had given. I was devastated. His writings have touched my life deeply.

Rest in peace, John.

Thank you for creating and posting this video tribute. I just learned of John less than an hour ago through my subscription to Suuzzee's channel. Although I know nothing of John I know death very well. I can feel your affection for him and your grief at his passing. This sensing through feeling may be part of my own Celtic roots, which are Welsh and Scottish but not Irish. You take care, David

What a lovely man! I am 3rd generation Irish here in the states but feel very close to my family in Westport, County Mayo. Another friend here in the states gave me insight into John and his Anam Cara book - which I treasure and cannot wait to buy Benedictus. He has touched my life and may our passing be as gentle as his life and words were.

What a wonderful person, this lovely man has made his mark on people's souls. I must read his work to understand where the beauty of life comes from: This lovely man seemed so aware and understood its reason; This gift given to us all.

I will always remember John. His warmth and big smile, his kind heart and humor, his keen intelligence and humility will always live in my heart. He taught me my first word in Irish and I'm forever grateful to him. Thank you for this lovely tribute.

Simply lovely video...thank you. John, eventhough I did know him personally, was one of my 'best friends' especially whenever I hit a low point in life....I would run and grab one of his books and BINGO!, beautiful solace was found in his words to lift me up.
