This week, Galway lost two figures whose artistry and passion have shaped the city in ways that will never be forgotten. Ken Bruen, the celebrated crime noir writer, and John Herrick, the footballer and signwriter, both passed away within days of each other, leaving behind legacies as distinct as they were lasting. In their own ways, both men captured the essence of Galway—its resilience, its beauty, and its contradictions. One could strike a ball, the other a chord, but both have forever altered the landscape of this beloved city.
