A good father to his sons Tod and Conor and a good husband to his wife Maureen <br />'Tis sad to think that in the Town of Millstreet that in the flesh he'll never more be seen <br />Tom Falvey always was the quiet achiever never did promote himself in any way <br />Well liked and down to earth and rather gentle and only good of others he did say <br />I last saw Tom in the West End of Millstreet on a cold November day twenty one years ago <br />The last time that I ever did speak to him what the future holds who is to say or know <br />So many people we knew in our young years that we will never meet or see again <br />Old friends don't die they live on in our memories and 'til our own end with us they remain <br />Tom Falvey never did sing his own praises he never was one tainted by conceit <br />He was a very humble sort of a fellow one of the quiet achievers of Millstreet <br />'Tis sad to think that he is gone forever but there has to be an ending to us all <br />The reaper claims the lives of everybody to his scythe we are destined for to fall <br />The World was better for him living in it he is now with the deceased of his Homeplace <br />Tom Falvey will be sadly missed from Millstreet where for many years his was a well known face.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tom-falvey/
