RIP Mick Barry, the mighty man who lofted a 16 oz. road-bowl over the Viaduct on St. Patrick’s Day 1955. He was possibly the greatest bowler ever and passed away peacefully on Saturday at the age of 95. |
Mick had another talent unknown to most. he was the only man I know that could properly replace and tune a spoked motorcycle wheel, Motorcycle shops in the 1970’s and ’80’s taking in crashed bikes used to send the damaged wheels to Mick to be repaired, remember seeing him doing this back in the day before alloy wheels became the norm.
Mick developed Alzheimers in later life
RIP Mick.
