A good many years ago now, aged about 20, I was lucky enough to live with the late John Hills in Davy Cormack's Ardagh House Hotel in Killenaule during his time in Edward O'Grady's.

I can vividly remember the visits of his father Barry which invariably involved dinner in Bryan Murphy's in Adare with a host of other larger than life characters like Pat Hogan, Greville Starkey, Brian Taylor and Frank Barry.

It was a privilege for me as a young man to spend time in Barry's company, always great fun with plenty of mischief and storytelling of the highest order.

A great man who will be sadly missed.
