Book of Condolences

Our deepest condolences and sympathies go out to Carol and family on the loss of Dermot, a loving husband and family man. We shall miss his wonderful humour, good nature and the calm composure and courage with which he faced any challenge, right to the end. Sharing a summer in France with him was a formative experience which will always give me wonderful memories of Dermot's sense of fun and adventure. He will be missed by a great many people. Fergal and Rina Kelly
