Paul Cronin dead at 81

Australian TV legend Paul Cronin has died at the age of 81 surrounded by his four daughters and grandchildren.

Best known for his iconic roles as Dave Sullivan in the much-loved series The Sullivans and Gary Hogan in Matlock Police, Cronin won five silver Logies and was crowned the King of Moomba in 1980.

A passionate AFL supporter, he was awarded the licence to establish the Brisbane Bears AFL team in 1986 and was president of the club from 1987 to 1989.

Daughters Katherine, Jane, Susanne and Jules were by his side when he passed away last night.

“He was the most wonderful father, he was protective, he would have done everything for his girls. We loved him so much, he adored mum so much,” Susanne says.

I think we all remember the Sullivans.. Thanks Paul

RIP.

Because when a much loved entertainer dies we all feel sad, unlike when an arsehole kid pinner dies, we all shout hooray!

Thanks Paul RIP. I remember as clear as day, like it was just yesterday, coming home from school as a teenager (?) and watching the very first episode of The Sullivans.

One thing I never did ... watch The Sullivans.

Truly cringeworthy TV.

Like most Australian stuff at the time.

Although I had seen some episodes of Matlock Police which was more tolerable.

Crawfords must be really desperate for a quid advertising on TV selling box sets of The Sullivans, Flying Doctors, Matlock & Division 4 etc.

Not a hope in hell. Grin

Anyway RIP Paul Cronin.

There is a RIP Eddie Money thread, is the only reason you haven’t dropped one of your pointless barbs into that one is because it wasn’t started by Cods?
