A great man indeed. It was always a pleasure to chat with him and listen to his great fiddling. My deepest condolences to his family.

It's very sad to see Paddy go but a real pleasure to have known him, however long ago that was. Certainly one of a kind. Stories of Paddy still resonate through our thoughts and conversations. We send our love....Bill & Sheila

We were shocked and sorry to hear of the death of Paddy Cronin. We visited him in his home in Killarney a few months ago and always enjoyed his company. We only heard the news today and so sadly missed the funeral. Our condolences goes to all his family. He was a great character and a fine musician.

I always enjoyed Paddy's music and banter. He will be sorely missed.
