WWLS 98.1 the Sports Animal in Oklahoma City will host the Bob Barry Inaugural Memorial Golf Classic Monday, August 8. The event will honor the late Bob Barry, Jr., the longtime Oklahoma City sportscaster and WWLS morning show personality who passed away last June. Barry hosted mornings on WWLS with former Oklahoma State University football coach Pat Jones. Barry died in a motorcycle accident. He was 58.
Gina Barry, wife of Bob Barry, Jr., said, “When the family was approached about creating an event months ago, we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate and honor Bobby. He loved doing his daily show on WWLS, cherished talking sports with his callers, and was always championing our service men and women. Just like all of his many callers and listeners on the radio, we miss him every single day. This will be a great event and a perfect opportunity for everyone to get together, enjoy some golf, and share favorite stories and memories of Bobby.”
