> Johnny died 06 Jul 09 about 9:00 AM in Gdansk hospital.

As I mentioned in my post above, he popped unbidden into my mind yesterday morning while I was in the kitchen. That room was the last place I ever saw him, and - allowing for the hour's difference between Ireland and Poland - it was right about that time. No profound thoughts, certainly nothing spooky, just nice warm memories of Johnny sitting at the end of my old farmhouse table, brightening up the whole room with his chat and his booming laugh.
