I drive by the sign with this officer's name on it everyday on my way to work. It is located on Emslie and Clinton and I always wondered who he was and what happened. There isn't much information here and it would be great if more could be added. May Officer Cronin rest in peace.

I recently made a connection with family I didn't know I had in Buffalo. Patrolman Patrick J. Cronin was my great grand uncle. Maybe one day I can travel from the UK to pay my respects.
RIP Uncle Patrick.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 108th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Rest In Peace.

I said a little prayer today for Patrolman Cronin and his family. He may be gone but never forgotten. He will always be a New York HERO.
