Rest in peace Trooper Cronin Alaska State Police. I am a retired police officer from Cork in Ireland. I have visited the Alaska State Police museum in Anchorage where I discovered you were born in my city. I understand that you served in the U. S. Air Force in Alaska and that you joined the Alaska State Police when your tour of duty was up. If I am not mistaken your son joined the State Police later. R. I. P.
