It is with great sadness that we honour the memory of a much loved and respected Club member John McCann who passed away recently.

I first met John when he turned-up on my doorstep offering me money. A mutual friend had told him that I was doing a charity walk for the Irish Cancer Society and he wanted to make a donation. Such was John. Little did we know then that this disease would steal him from us. That encounter with John was a good few years ago and since then I have been touched by John‚s kind and generous nature on many occasions, as have other Club members. He was a very sociable, gentle and caring individual who could walk us all into the ground‚ and slowed-down to walk with the Club. He was extremely fit and a great lover of the outdoors. John enjoyed the craic on a Sunday walk and especially valued the multicultural nature of the Club as well as his hot whiskey in the pub afterwards. We will miss him dearly but his memory remains with us and he will continue to walk by our side.

We have been blessed to know you John, rest in peace.
