Deirdre O’Kane has paid a heartbreaking tribute to her late father, who sadly passed away last week.
John was laid to rest on Monday morning, and remembering her dad, the Irish actress shared a beautiful picture of them together on her wedding day.
“Please raise a glass in his honour, he was a very good man,” she began.
“He was so talented… more than he knew, and he was truly a classy guy.
“He was a cattle man who played the piano beautifully…. and he had the most beautiful hands that I have ever seen. As I said in the church… hands that no cattle man had the right to have!”
Deirdre continued, “He loved a brandy, he loved Portugal, he loved jazz, he loved Seve, he loved Deano.
“He hated flies, cold plates, the sitting room door left open… and the banks.
“He loved his Rugby, his Golf, music, good food, but more than anything, he loved his family… he loved me.
“RIP John O’Kane… you were a giant amongst men and I was very proud to be your daughter. A round of applause please.”
Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.
