Subsequent to a question from Sandra Smith (nee Beatson) as to the whereabouts of Phil Chapman, Brendan Quirk asked whatever happened to Phil’s ever-present sidekick, Arch Barry.

Tom Barker has advised that Arch died soon after Tom left Telstra in about 1999. Tom wanted to go to his funeral but his family (NZ) insisted it be private.

    Arch was one on of those characters that made OTC unique.
    His Mate PJC (Phil Chapman) would have keep an eye on him to the end and now both of them are “Silent Keys”
    RIP
    Brendan Quirk
