Dear Maureen, Kate, Deidre, Therese, Vinny and Paul Condolences on the passing of Johnny. I have such good memories of the times at Red Beach and of the many times the families came together. Some of these are memories are over 50 years old but still shine brightly. Johnny was a warm, energetic and intelligent man. Good to of known him and sorry to see him go. Best .. John Kelly

To the Walsh Family we were sad to hear of your dads passing. John left a great legacy in his adopted home. I will forever remember him roaming the back hills of Tawa with my father-in-law, solving the problems of the day to their satisfaction. May god bless you all and grant John a speedy entry into haven.

Slan leat John , last of those brave people who crossed the oceans not knowing when you’d return. Daley Family 🍀

Dear Maureen. Kate, Deirdre and Theresa, Paul and Vinnie and all of Dandeens grandchildren. So sorry for your loss of such a great man. He was a true gentleman and it was an honor to have worked with him . He was so kind and generous to us when we lived and got married over in Wellington. Ar dheis Dè go raibh a anam💖

Working as a consultant with John was usually a learning experience, sometimes challenging and always interesting and enjoyable. I came to the view that problems that often came with some colourful language best interpreted as terms of endearment, were a challenge for both of us to figure out how to fix the problem. He did a lot of great work but will be best remembered as a wonderful man. I was lucky to come to know John and his family. I am sad I could not get to the funeral. Condolences

Thank you Walsh Family for such a beautiful service and tribute to Johnny. Like a book that cant be forgotten, because the content was so good, so too was your dad. He has left an everlasting impression for many on how to live life on life's terms. His depth of love for you all was easy to spot. So glad to have been present to farewell a good man.

Sincere condolence to all of Sean's family on his sad passing. He always came to visit us when he came home to Ireland. He was a true gentleman.

Deepest condolences to Seán's family, fond memories of when he used to come home to visit. May his gentle soul rest in peace. Comhbhrón ó chroí le Beachla, Mag, Micheál, Bernice agus an clann ar fád. Leaba I measc na naomh dhó

A true Irish gentleman. Helped us out on many occasions during the trucking days. Couldn’t find a more honest and hardworking businessman. RIP

God rest you Sean may you rest in peace and may you have a bed with the angels in Heaven. Ar dhéis Dé dhuit a Sheáin a chara agus leaba go raibh agat imeasc na Naomh

We had great times with May and Sean. We went to see him 3 times and he and Mae came to Boston to visit and we traveled together and had a wonderful times and so much fun. Sean McDonagh was driving and Sean Walsh was the passenger and Mae and I were in the back. Sean McD stopped a at Stop sign and Sean Walsh said if you stay here long enough, something will come. We enjoyed so much laughter with him. From playing cards with Sean and Paul. I think they fed me so much drinks that I lost my fortune. ❤️🇮🇪😂 We are so happy that we spent time together. Love to all the family One more thing, Mae was also very funny. She told her grandkids, and I use the same phrase myself to the grandkids, Mae said it’s better to be late than DEAD ON TIME!

Sincere condolences to the Walsh family on the passing of Seán. Thinking of you all at this sad and difficult time. May his gentle soul Rest in Peace. Leaba imeasc na naomh agat a Shean,

So sorry to hear the passing of my dear friend Sean may he rest in peace 🙏 they together again

I'm very sorry I can't be at John's service today to pay my respects and to pass on those of my colleagues at Cuttriss Consultants. Thank you John for having faith in us to carry out your land development work, and I will remember you as a man with a keen sense of humour and a ready story - quite often about how many lengths of pipe your team could lay in a day. Perhaps those stories were like fishing tales, but somehow I don't think so. Rest easy now John, your job is done, and to the Walsh family, we wish you strength on this hardest of days, and know that you will carry fond memories of John with you in the days ahead.

My deepest sympathy to the Walsh Family on the passing of John. I loved been in his company in The Wellington Irish Society Club and the many game of cards we played there. I know he he was a great help to young Irish Lads and Girls in finding work in Wellington New Zealand. My Condolence to his Family In Wellington and Rossaveal. The Bed of Heaven to you John,rest in Peace.

Our heartfelt condolences to the Walsh family. We remember John with a lot of fondness. His was a life well lead.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Sean. Very fond memories of him calling into the house in Sailechuna when he used to be home on holidays. A gentleman. May he rest in peace. Noelle Curran (Noelle Paraic Nan)

Condolences from the Levy family for your loss. John was a friend of Dad's (Ivan Levy who was lost a year ago on New Years eve). They shared a few drinks and musical nights together over the years, along with working together from time to time. Best wishes to your family Maureen and Kate, Debbie.

Our heartfelt sympathy on John's passing, a might Totara has fallen. He was a great man. The Walsh family has always been a big part of the Kelly Clan's lives, so this is a sad moment for us. May he be at rest and in the external company of his beloved May.

Love and condolences to the Walsh Family, from all of us associated with the St Patrick's Day Parade. John was a stalwart supporter from day one and without him we couldn't have had success. His generosity and thoughtfulness made one gasp. A wonderful man, the likes of who do not come around often. Barry

Dear Maureen, Kate, Deirdre, Theresa, Vincent, Paul, Aine, Sean, Conor, Liam, Niamh, Rosaria and Siobhan. So sorry to hear about the death of John, an amazing man who accomplished so much from humble beginnings. He absolutely loved his family and your devotion and care for him over the years was very evident. He leaves a lasting legacy. We hope you find comfort and strength from each other as you bring him to his final resting place. "I will see you again and you will rejoice and no one will take away your joy". (John 16:22) You are all very much in our thoughts and prayers. Much love, Ann, Scott, Adam, Rory and Sarah. xxx

Dear Kate and Vinnie, Maureen, Deidre and Paul, Theresa and the all the Walsh clan grandchildren. We are so sorry for your loss and our love and prayers go out to you all at this sad time. John was a constant of our parents generation - humble, hard working, wise beyond his years, generous, entrepreneurial, and of course with plenty of Irish charm in his DNA. He will be sadly missed by his family, friends and the Irish community. He has now gone to join May. Dia dhaoibh and Rest in Peace. Loretta, Phil, Sean and Ashleigh, Adam and Zeenat, Alexander and and Ellie.

Resto Nella In Pace Mr Walsh. Mo chomhbhrón ó chroí agus mo chomhbhrón ó chroí le do theaghlach. ☦️✝️

My condolences to all of John’s family and friends on his passing. John and his late wife May were two of the finest Irish people to ever live in New Zealand and contributed so much to the Irish and business communities firstly in Auckland and then in Wellington. I met May and John shortly after I arrived in New Zealand in April 1989 and as we all came from the West of Ireland (Galway and Mayo) we had a lot of things in common. John will be sadly missed by his family here in New Zealand and other relatives in Ireland, the UK and other parts of the World. John is now reunited with his beloved May and other members of their family and friends. May John Rest in Eternal Peace and he will no doubt be wearing the Galway colours as St Peter welcomes him through the Pearly gates. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a an am.

Condolences to all john s family and my brother paul murray John was a wonderful man we had the pleasure to meet john and mai when they visited Ireland My taught s are with ye on this sad time Brendan & Margaret tobin
