It was my absolute honour to meet my Dad’s cousin, Jerry Corkery, and then become so welcomed by him and his wife Mary. The only trip back to Millstreet by Mickey Joe Lynch, Jerry was so interested in listening to tales and songs from their shared childhood.
I know Jerry had a great love for his wife and family and always had a smile for me whenever I had a chance to visit Ireland. His family should be so proud to have had such a strong patriarch who led a great life . The world is a better place because of his presence. RIP
