Sorry to hear the death of Andrew Hickey this man was a legend in his day with his hearty laugh and his long black leather jacket great fun and never did hare to any one another giant legned gone from Millstreet
Andrew Hickey lived in Millstreet Town perhaps all of his long life
On Main Street he and Mary nee O Donoghue had a hardware store his devoted wife
In Millstreet Town they raised their children where Andrew was well liked and well known
And it can be said of him that he was one of Millstreet’s own
It can be truly said of Andrew that he was a gentleman
One who never harmed anybody in his very long life span
He will be missed by friends and family where his was a well loved face
Millstreet for him living in it surely was a better place
Andrew Hickey in his lifetime was one who never made a foe
One of the nicest and kindest of people of the Millstreet of long ago
Sad to think he will not be seen in Millstreet Town in the flesh again
But good memories of the person he was in all who knew him will remain
Never to be seen in the flesh again on the streets of Millstreet Town
One who lived by good example and in deeds or words never put anyone down
Such a good and decent person though his gift of life from him has gone
In the minds of all who knew him good memories of him will live on
Gone from the Town of Millstreet where he first saw light of day
But it can be said of Andrew Hickey that he was a good person in every way
His heart that beat with kindness by Life’s Reaper rendered still
Is now at rest forever in the quiet by Cashman’s Hill.
