My condolences to all the Herricks. I spent many joyous hours in the Herrick home over my high school years and Des was always in good humour, so caring and interested in our adventures as teens. Wishing cherished memories for you all. He will be profoundly missed.

So sorry to hear of Des's passing. Des was in our senior league bowling in Renfrew and was also a team mate of mine in that league one year. We were both die hard HAB fans at that time and took a bit of ribbing, but enjoyed the laughs and fellowship. Des always displayed very good sportsmanship and often times we would laugh and say we couldn't hit a barn door 10 feet away with a gallon of paint .. RIP Des.

I have been blessed to have had such a kind and gentle soul for a father and mentor, and advocate when I was vulnerable. Even dementia could not and did not change his disposition - affirmation that he was kind and gentle TO HIS CORE.
