Sad News - the Loss of a Friend

David J. Brannock, 1957-2010

Many of you have heard the sad news that David Brannock passed away in his sleep on Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Along with his wife Lee, David was the co-owner and founder of the Back Room, the Blue Note Grille, and the Flat Rock Wine Shoppe. David loved the wine shop and his new restaurant, and from the outpouring of affection we have received, we know that you loved him too.

Two gatherings are planned in his honor. The first, a gathering of all of David's friends and family, will be held on Saturday, December 4 at 4:00 pm at the Trinity Presbyterian Church fellowship hall in Hendersonville . The second, a party in his honor, will be held at the Blue Note Grille on Sunday evening from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Join us for either or both of these informal and causal celebrations as we laugh and cry together in David's memory.

In the meantime, the Wine Shoppe and Blue Note Grille are opened for business as usual. Would David want it any other way? Please join us for lunch or dinner or stop by to buy your favorite bottle of wine. Many of David's friends and long time regular customers have been gathering to raise a glass, have a meal, or listen to their favorite band, in his honor. There is no better tribute to David than to continue to enjoy the wonderful hospitality that the wine shop and restaurant were famous for.  828-697-6828 The Blue Note Grille is located at 114 N. Main Street in downtown Hendersonville NC.

Dave Brannock was a special friend to ClimbEveryMountain.com. We will miss his gentle spirit and good humor. We are privileged to have known him and will always remember him fondly.
