Timothy Cronin Obituary
--
Tim was born Jan. 29, 1951, in Kearney to the late Donald and June Cronin. The family lived for several years in Hazard where Tim attended elementary school, then moved to Ravenna where Tim graduated from Ravenna High School in 1969. Following graduation, he joined the Navy from 1969 to 1973.
After the Navy Tim attended barber college in Lincoln. Tim moved back to Ravenna and owned a barber shop and eventually went to work for Ravenna Cheese for many years.
Tim moved to Arizona in 1998. Tim owned and worked at The Orange Grove Barber Shop for several years. Tim enjoyed playing on golf leagues, trapping and hunting while in Nebraska. Tim enjoyed playing golf, spending time with friends, going on walks and watching football. Go Huskers!
Tim had the deepest love for his family over everything in the world. If anyone would ask about his family, he would have no problem spending hours going on and on about how proud he was of each one of them. Tim enjoyed talking to people and loved to tell stories about his life and what he had experienced throughout. Tim had many friends throughout his entire life and touched several people.
Survivors include his wife, Julie Hoover; children, Kelly (Matthew) Lemburg of Grand Island and Joe (Meghan) Cronin of Seattle, Washington; one grandchild, Taylor Lemburg; and sisters, Pat (Dale) Miller of Sloan, Iowa and Bonnie (Jake) Jakob of Tucson, Arizona; along with nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his mother and father.
In lieu of flowers, memorials will be donated to the Timothy Cronin Memorial Fund at Five Points Bank in Grand Island.

Song from a Reedless Flute
BY SARA LITTLECROW-RUSSELL
You are beadwork woven by a broken Indian woman
That I mend with cautious, needle-pricked fingers.
You are raw sweetness of burning chaga
Scraping my lungs and startling tears.
You are the bear claw necklace
No longer caressing
The space between my breasts.
You are cigarettes
That I quit years ago,
But sometimes smoke anyways.
You are maple syrup on snow
Melting on my tongue
Until I ache from the cold.
You are the cedar tree
Sheltering my childhood
From unwanted caresses.
You are the star blanket
Sliding off the bed on autumnal nights.
You are a stubborn braid of wiingashk
That must be relit with a dozen matches
Before it releases thin streamers of sweetness.
You are the love song
Played on a reedless flute
That only spirits hear.

I have been a regular customer at Orange Grove Barbers since moving to Tucson in 2009. Whenever my number came up and I drew Tim to cut my hair, we had good conversations. I am sorry to hear of his passing. He was a great guy and an excellent barber as they all are at his shop. Eternal Rest grant unto Tim, Oh Lord and let Perpetual Light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
