(Beaver Falls Pa.)      Join Beaver County Radio, Robert’s Roadside Inn, and Skerlic Contracting on Wednesday night, April 5, 2023, as we pay tribute to our friend Bob Barrickman who tragically passed away in December.

Bob Barrickman’s long time broadcast partner Tom Hays will return to Beaver County Radio to host this special edition of the “Coaches Corner”. Bob hosted the “Coaches Corner” from the patio at Robert’s Roadside Inn for over 30-years. Tom will also be joined by longtime Beaver County Radio Broadcasters Bruce Fry and Jason Colangelo, Current broadcasters Mike Azadian and Joe Sager.  We’ll also hear from Bob’s longtime friend Bob Skerlic who was in many a scrabble battle with Bob. Many of Bob’s friends and co-workers over the year will also be on hand for the event.  The Beaver Area School District Education Foundation will also be there taking donations for the newly formed Bob Barrickman Scholarship. The show will be streamed live on Beaver County Radio’s Facebook and YouTube pages.

Beaver County Radio would like to give special thanks to Bob Skerlic for whom this night would not be possible without.  Bob came to General Manager Frank Sparks with the idea for the tribute and the two along with St. Barnabas Senior Vice President J.D. Turco got to work and put this special night to pay tribute to Bob Barrickman together.

We want to thank our team members for the evening below for the sponsorship of the event.

We also want to give a special shoutout to Pizza Joe’s in Beaver, My Hero’s Sub Shop in Rochester, and Robert’s Roadside Inn for their donations of food for the event. Also a special shoutout to Robert’s Roadside for providing the venue and drinks throughout the night. There will also be a cash bar during the event.
