Old memories of what was can give rise to nostalgic tears
In towns and villages the voice of John Anthony O' Sullivan will live on for years
In Duhallow and Sliabh Luachra where he was loved and widely known
And in Rathduane and Ballydaly they were proud to claim him for their own
All around the Cork Kerry border countryside
John Anthony and the voice that was his became known far and wide
Through his public address system he made for himself many a friend
Sad to hear that the journey in life for him has come to an end
In life he was one who made friends every day
Such a likeable person of him one can say
And in all who did know him good memories will stay
Of a down to earth fellow in his own gentle way
Though the ears of the deceased rendered deaf to the tolling of the funeral bell
For all of us from life a final farewell
And to John Anthony credit is only his due
Since to his higher self he was one who lived true
From life for us all there is a final release
In St Mary's by Cashman's Hill in Millstreet Town his last remains are at peace
And though his gift of life from him may have gone
In his family and his many friends good memories of him will live on.
