Retirement
In retirement from playing Barry came to be regarded as one of the greatest forwards of his era and is particularly revered in east Cork where his legendary battles of fifty years ago with Tipperary's great corner back, John Doyle are still recalled with pride. In 2000 he was named in the left corner-forwrad position on both the Munster and Cork Hurling Teams of the Millennium.
Paddy Barry died on 18 December 2000.

Famous quotes containing the word retirement:
“Douglas. Now remains a sweet reversion—
We may boldly spend, upon the hope
Of what is to come in.
A comfort of retirement lives in this.
Hotspur. A rendezvous, a home to fly unto.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Convent. A place of retirement for women who wish for leisure to meditate upon the sin of idleness.”
