(Beaver, Pa.) Wednesday night was a night to celebrate the memory and legacy of Beaver County Radio Sports Director and longtime play by play announcer Bob Barrickman who passed away in December of 2022.

Former Beaver County Radio play by play man Tom Hays returned to Beaver County Radio to host this special edition of the Coaches Corner live from the patio at Robert’s Roadside Inn. Bob hosted the Coaches Corner there for over 30 years. Joining Tom on the broadcast was current Beaver County Radio color analyst, Bruce Frey.

Tom and Bruce interviewed numerous people who were part of Bob’s life on both a professional and personal level.

The owner of Robert’s, Bob Skerlic and Bob were the best of buddies and Skerlic wanted to honor Barrickman by renaming the patio in Bob’s honor. Skerlic said that the patio will now be known as the Bob Barrickman Patio at Robert’s Roadside Inn.
