Kevin Hickey

Such sad news out of Millstreet Kevin Hickey has passed away In view of Cashman's Hill in St Mary's his last remains do lay Born and raised in Dromnahilla he spend many years in the U S A And Millstreet much the poorer for his passing one can say In Dromnahilla by Millstreet Town Kevin spend his younger years And among his family and friends his passing would not have gone without tears One who did have many memories of Millstreet of the past Perhaps in his early seventies when he breathed his last Kevin Hickey was a good man his friends in numbers did grow Just one of those nice people who did have the inner glow In everyone who knew him good memories of him bound to stay The dead at rest forever and time on the living ticks away With the passing of the decades few things do seem to last And in Millstreet in Duhallow the changes are happening fast That time does age the living only seems true to say Like Kevin for each and every one of us a final night and day Such sad news out of Millstreet in view of Clara Hill A heart that beat with kindness by death has been rendered still From Kevin Hickey of Dromnahilla the last breath of life has gone But good memories of the man he was in all who knew him will live on.
