February'Stache in the sky
When I grabbed my Winning Post at smoko a couple of Fridays for the usual ritual of having a chuckle out loud whilst reading Head to Head, only to learn of Gruber’s passing, it was fair to say this was a kick in the shins.
The whole publication is a top read but Gruber’s comments (except for constantly picking on my battling Melbourne Demons) in Head to Head with Barks were the cream on the cake — even the missus was a fan!
Hopefully he is at the Big Sky Hotel, running another shonky punters club on a Saturday arvo, enjoying a few schooners of Carlton Draught with a little bit of leftover chinese in the moustache.
Hopefully a few mates, some taken way too soon, are enjoying his company at said pub, knocking back a few beers and “donating” some hard-earned to his dodgy syndicate. Wish I was there!
