Since her father’s passing in 2019, Crona has gone on to become an author, writing a crime novel that is dedicated to Gay.
The book, which has been in the works for the last 4 years, will be published this year.
Gay was one of the first people to read a first draft of the novel and gave her some crucial advice before his passing.
“He, as usual, said ‘Yes I like it, watch the way you’re going, check your spelling, check your punctuation, go back, re-read it, you have several things to do’, which has been done.”
Gay’s eldest daughter, Suzy, pulled at the nation’s heartstrings at her father’s funeral service paying an emotional tribute to the man.
Speaking at his funeral mass, Suzy said: “Dad never faltered in his trust of, as he called John, the captain of this ship”.
“You enabled so many extra memories for us all.”
