So sorry to hear of grubby passing. He was a good down to earth guy. He will be missed by many. Until we meet again my friend may you rest in peace.
I still have the videos of you playing your guitar for my mom and son. You were the most straight forward person I had ever met, and I respected you more for that, I'm glad to have met you. You made my momma's last days easier and I'm forever thankful. Now it's your time to rest. I'm sorry for the pain your family is going thru, but one day you will all be together. Until then rest easy, and enjoy the party. R.I.P. Grubby

I am surprised and saddened to hear of "Grubby" passing. I have had a lot of fun times over the years with him and learned many things along the way too. He could have been a trivia master for little known facts and so on about the world we live in.
Sorry for your loss Joe.
