John Cronin was a well known Millstreet person he lived at the Priests Cross most of his life
He will be missed in the Millstreet community and mourned by his friends, his family and his wife
He was not an old man at most in his early sixties though for awhile he had been feeling ill
He was well liked and he never made an enemy in the old Town by ancient Clara Hill.
In his younger years he played Gaelic Football for Millstreet with pride he wore the famous green and gold
It is sad to think that he is gone forever that the farewell bell for the good man has tolled
He now lay with the departed of Millstreet for all of us there is a final Fall
But in Duhallow he will be remembered and fond memories of him many will recall.
John Cronin was a good and a decent person with words he never put another down
A gentleman and it can be said of him that he was a credit to old Millstreet Town
He was one with a happy disposition and if he could not help you he would not do you wrong
And I recall when he was in his prime years a dark haired fellow of sturdy build and strong.
I hope the good man had a peaceful ending as he never harmed anyone in any way
John Cronin is now with the dead of Millstreet his bones by Cashman's hill forever lay
A happy fellow one who was kind hearted and ill of others he would never say
In time the longest human life is not a long span and for all of us a final night and day.
