Rest in peace, Des. Love to the Horan family--we all had such a special time growing up together in the glorious 1970s-80s. Thank you Des and Andrea for your gift of the Victoria Ave years. A home of warmth, laughter, imagination, and lasting memories. When Des opened the door he opened us to who he was (well said Andrew.....let's catch up soon!). Love to all. Hamish.

So sorry to hear of Des's passing. I have fond memories of great times hanging at the Horan's when i was very young, "spotlight and go home stay home" and many more. I also remember riding in the car with Chris with Des leaning over the steering wheel like it was a lounger as if there was not an issue in the world. Thanks for the great memories. Sorry I cant be there tomorrow. Rest in love Des.
