Desmond (Brian) Thomas

My deepest condolences on your loss. It’s hard to find words that truly express the sadness of losing someone so dear. May you be surrounded by peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Sincere condolences to Des and Laura at the loss of your father. I have many wonderful memories of working with and for him. He was instrumental in changing the fortunes of many young people and giving them the opportunity to earn pocket money and instilling in them the life lesson of being rewarded for working hard. Rest in peace Brian.

Brian was my brother in law married to Nora my sister. Brian did a lot of firsts for me, first international football game at Dalymount Park, we were both pushed through the gates and ended up on the sidelines of Ireland v Italy (world champions at that time). He gave me my first driving lessons… I crashed soon after :). Brian was a kind and generous man with his time, but like most of our generation he had many challenges; now, may he finally rest in peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

It was with great sadness I heard of the passing of Brian.A true gentleman. He will be remembered with great sadness by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
