At The Heads<\/a> in Barwon Heads.<\/p>\nDaryle\u2019s daughter Elizabeth said her father had a real passion for the Surf Coast and for hospitality.<\/p>\n
The family\u2019s tribute notice to Daryle described him as a loving husband to Jocelyn and an amazing father to Nathan, Mathew, Elizabeth and Laura, and a much-loved father-in-law to Brenton.<\/p>\n
\u201cPoppy will be so sorely missed by his three grandchildren Isla, Mia and Finn, whom he loved and adored,\u201d the tribute said.<\/p>\n
Torquay resident Paul Henderson moved to the town in the late 1990s and first met Daryle at Growlers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe met Daryle and Jocelyn through other friends when they took over Growlers from Murray Bingham and Nicky Buckley,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cA friend of mine knew Daryle through the hospitality game in Melbourne – we bought a house down here 21 years ago – and I literally walked into Growlers and he\u2019d been told that I\u2019d bought a place down here and I\u2019d been told he\u2019d bought Growlers, so we shook hands and that was the start of a fantastic friendship,\u201d Paul recalled.<\/p>\n
He said Daryle had been in hospitality his whole life but was most recently in semi-retirement.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a great operator of Growlers, a character, and a fantastic family man with grandkids,\u201d Paul said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEspecially as the frontman of a restaurant like Growlers which has become an iconic part of Torquay; he was quite often people\u2019s first impression of Torquay.\u201d<\/p>\n
A celebration of Daryle\u2019s life was held at the At the Heads restaurant yesterday (Wednesday, April 7), followed by a private burial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
