sincere sympathy to the Desmond family on the death of Maurice a giant of the artistic community May he rest in peace in the eternal forest

To my young self, uncle Maurice was an occasional but somewhat awe-inspiring presence, always wearing his trademark dark suit, gravelly voiced and sometimes bearing unexpected gifts, like the biography of James Dean he gave me one birthday. Nothing added to his aura of dark mystery more than the antique swords he kept under his bed. Now that I am grown, I am inclined to remember the child in him too - the twinkle in his eye and his playful sense of humour. Sending my heartfelt condolences to Aoife, Judith, Paul and all who loved him.

My sincere sympathy to you Paul and your family on the sad passing of your brother Maurice. May he rest in peace.

Quite a shock to hear of Maurice's passing, but he certainly made his mark, and influenced so many people with his generosity and his love of painting over the years.

Looking up at Tedagh mountain tonight where Maurice lived for awhile long ago, the man in black will always be with us. My sincere sympathy to Paul and all Maurice's family, may he rest in peace.

SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO AOIFE. SHANE. AND ALL THE DESMOND FAMILY

Sincere sympathy Judith and the Desmond family on the death of Maurice. May he Rest in Peace.

Things I liked best about Maurice were his dead honesty at all times -- and no sentimental coating -- and his sheer determination to live so long as he could be able to probe a little more the last grains of meaning and depths of every moment of human life left to him. He was the most Nietzchean of artists this country will ever see. He wouldn't deny it, he loved German philosophers. The man read, then he painted, then he read. Thus he could talk so well.

I loved all this about Maurice. In the Irish Times a fellow named John Sullivan did a fine portrait of Maurice a few years back. He really caught him. Maurice the truth seeker.

Sincere condolences to Judith, and the Desmond family on the passing of Maurice. May Maurice Rest in Peace.

His courageous expression in painting, and everything about him captivated me.meeting him over the years, and looking at his paintings nothing has diminished that personal charisma or that unique visual voice. I consider it an honour to have known him. He will live on in his exquisite paintings.
