Deputy Lowry said that is was with a "heavy heart" that he said goodbye to his treasured friend, and a "faithful member of the Lowry team".
"J.J. was always available to advise, to assist and support in every way he could. He never missed an event and would always be the last to leave.
"J.J. enjoyed talking about farming, hurling and politics. He had a calm sense of humour with an excellent style of delivering a subtle punchline. He loved his roots, his community and the traditional way of rural life. J.J. will be missed. Peace to his kindly soul".
