Sean O Riordan Poem by Francis Duggan

The quiet man from Kilcorney we recall
He loved the games of Hurling and Gaelic Football
A Patron of the Millstreet G A A
And a quiet achiever in his own quiet way.

He did not live on for to grow old and very gray
And quiet is the place where he now lay
And though fond memories of the man with us will stay
At a time like this even words are hard to say.

Words won't bring him back to his family and his beloved wife Kathleen
And in Church Street he will never more be seen
Where his was a loved and a familiar face
There won't be one around to take his place.

As Sportsmen and Builders the Riordans Matt, Denis, Sean and Michael knew renown
They built many houses close to Millstreet Town
Quite a name for themselves as builders they did make
A Riordan built house one never could mistake.

From Millstreet Town he is forever gone
But fond memories of a good man will live on
From life's cares one day we all will find release
And Sean O Riordan may he ever rest in peace.
