Des was a one off. He grew up in Seaforth and spent some time evacuated. In 1955 he married Bette and soon enough was sailing the world with the navy working in the laundry room. Des spent time in New York, South America and sailed around the horn of Africa.
Returning home he had a series of jobs to support his young family which now included Gary and Graham. From delivering movies to cinemas, selling alcohol and motor sales he found a vocation in printing and design.
A keen golfer Des also had a passion for wildlife and movies. A dappy dresser throughout life he spent his later years holidaying in Scotland with his beloved wife whilst entertaining his 5 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren to whom he was known affectionately as Pop.
Des had a wonderful wit and an intelligent mind, he was always immaculately turned out and will live on in his family.
