Dear Cronin family,

We just learned of Mr. Cronin’s passing and are so saddened. Mrs. Cronin, our prayers are with you at this difficult time. We loved going to your house and seeing the wonderful collections that you both have. We will truly miss Don and his wonderful advice about taxes, and more importantly, about life - he helped us make many so important decisions over the years. We will always keep your family in our prayers.

Your father was our accountant and I am very sad to have heard the news yesterday when I went to make an appointment to have my taxes done. My husband and I have been going to Donald for about 5 years now as well as my parents and he was always so proud to talk of his family and children. It was always a pleasure to get our taxes done and I'm sure not too many people can say that! Thank you for your father's great personality and wonderful family values. He will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during these hard times.

We were very blessed to have had your Dad, as our Accountant. In the many years that we knew him in his work and at the church, we realized what a giving person he was. We will miss him very much.

With love,
Alina, Tom, Hali and Ainsley Hutchison
