Teddy O' Callaghan

He and his late wife Marion owned McCarthy's Bar in Millstreet Town Square for many years And among family and friends his passing from life would not have gone without tears Teddy O' Callaghan was a quiet man and kind in his own way Quiet waters are deep as the wise are known to say It can be said of Teddy that he was one of Millstreet's own As the man of the pub in the Town Square he became widely known In Millstreet as in everywhere else the changes keep happening fast And all we have left are memories of the past To the scythe of life's Reaper we eventually must fall The last day and night is ahead of us all Teddy perhaps in his eighties of time lived a good span Near Millstreet Town he was born and grew into a man To the higher self he did live as quite true And he was a good person for to give him his due His mum and his dad in him raised a good son In his long life in Millstreet he never harmed anyone Where many of the deceased of the Parish do lay In the cemetery at St Mary's he is at peace today A link to the Millstreet of the long ago So sad to learn of the passing of Teddy Connie Joe.
