King Gook Memorial Service

took place on Monday last week in Vienna's 22nd dsitrict, in a church not far from where No Mercy Mistress holds her annual Swimming Pool runs.
The Service was a dignified occasion to say a final goodbye to a friend and fellow Hasher. The Service was being held in English language, with moving speeches being read by Cardinal Munk OVH and Joseph, King Gooks son in law. If I may get a chance, I might post the Cardinal's Speech.

The Hashrun on that same evening was held at Arbeiterstrandbadstrasse, venue of uncountable such occasions and apparently featured silent Down Downs to honour King Gook before and after the run. I wasn't there so can't give a report.
