Grieved by his wife Joan and his many friends and his family
It is said that death came upon him suddenly

Tade John was a man who was well loved and well known
And in his lifetime the seeds of friendship by him were sown
A tall and handsome fellow in his physical prime
Though this is going back many Seasons in time

About him he did have a likeable way
And his type of person makes new friends every day
He will be missed in Duhallow and in Millstreet Town
Where on old Clara Mountain as ever looks down

Tade John was a kind and a generous man
He lived in Murphy's Terrace for most of his lifetime span
The last breath of life from his mortal body may have gone
But in all who knew him good memories of him will live on
