From: Alan Brady
Des was a great coach and mentor. I have so many fond memories of playing for him with Club Ireland. I always looked forward to going to the games – his coaching brought out the best in people and he always had a joke to put everyone at ease. Des is a great person who will be sadly missed but the time spent with him will always be cherished. Condolences to the McDonnell family from the Brady Clan in Maple Ridge.
From: Nuala & Steve Crossey
Aunt Marie and Family, how we wished we could be with you for Uncle Desmond’s service. I have such fond memories of his sense of humor and how he could make everyone in the room laugh. He was a wonderful man with steadfast values. He will be greatly missed. We send all our love and sympathy and will keep you in our prayers. Love, Nuala & Steve Crossey, Holly Springs, North Carolina
