The Late John Moore The death has taken place of John Moore, of Hatchend, Middlesex, England and formerly of Ballino, Tarbert. He was just a few days short of his 70th birthday. John worked hard and enjoyed the many talents that God gave him, which he put to great use until he could use them no more. He was a renowned footballer, known for his outstanding displays in defence. He played parish league for his native Tarmons wearing the red and black for Tarbert, winning both minor and senior medals. He played for Listowel Technical College and was chosen for the Kerry Vocational Schools team for that. He will be remembered for his honest and no nonsense approach to the game. He met and married Kathleen Clifford of Duagh and move to England. There they reared their family, eight in all in Harrow and then on to Hatchend, Middlesex. John's illness made him increasingly vulnerable as the years went by, but not that you would notice. He was a fiercely proud man with a great heart and a wonderful sense of humour. His devoted family nursed and cared for him during these years. He brought his family home every summer when they were young and the returned the favour, in his time of need. He loved coming home and always made a point of catching up with old friends. He was also proud of his adopted home " John Bull's Country" , as he called it. He worked there for Guinness and did well for himself and his family. He was a talented carpenter and all-round grafter, never afraid to work and could turn his hand to any job. John will always be remembered for his love of GAA and Irish music and dance. He was a kind and loving husband, father and grandfather and uncle - a great man to guide you on to the right path. He is survived and greatly missed by his loving wife Kathleen, sons John, Thomas, Patrick, Michael, Steven and James, daughters Cathy and Rosaleen, sisters Nora Ambrose of Ardagh and brothers Mick of Tarmons and Tommy, Australia and grandchildren.
