Corkman who sold unused Ford crates across Munster
His son, Mick, remembers how his father sold the boxes for “small money” at creameries and farms throughout Munster — at one point even delivering a Ford box to the home of a girl called Christina who would go on to become Mick’s wife!
“My wife, who I married 30-odd years ago, remembers him coming up to her yard when she was a little girl, delivering a Ford box,” Mick says. “Small world! I ended up marrying her afterwards but not because of the box, mind you — but it possibly helped.”
