It is with great sadness and broken hearts to share the news of the passing of one of our most loved and cherished employees Dean Gallaway.
Dean gave almost 20 years of himself to The Gourmet Meat Rack. He wasn’t just an employee but he was family. We are beyond heart broken of this sudden loss. It’s something we can not comprehend.
Dean Brought so much joy to not just the team but also to our customers. His banta, laughter and wisdom will be forever missed, the shop will not be the same without him nor will our hearts.
Christmas is always hard at the shop with the hours our workers put in to get your orders ready but this year it will be a lot harder whilst we mourn the loss of Dean. So please be patient with all staff during this time.
If you’re having a beer this Christmas, please raise one to Dean and keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.
Jo, Zac, Bec, Steven, Jarrod, partners & the Gallaway family our thoughts, prayers and strength are with you. Dean wasn’t just an employee he was family and that extends to all of you. ❤️
