Desmond Joseph HINDS

Desi has been a very important person in my life for twenty-two years. I will greatly miss being able to talk with him on the phone - dining at LACC and the wonderful parties at his and Nancy's home. I have wonderful memories that will last a life time.

Uncle Des. I will miss you but I know that you are in good hands with Papa,Uncle Walter and Aunt Mary. I love you and thank you for always giving me the love and hugs whenever I needed them.

Desi was one of a kind! He was the most charming, handsome and witty man I have ever met. I feel so blessed to have had such a man as my grandfather. Our family will never be the same without him and his absence leaves a big void as Desi was larger than life and always made us all laugh. Nancy and Desi were a dynamic duo and I know Desi loved and adored my grandmother as must as she loved and adored him. I know Desi sorely missed his brothers and his sister and now he gets to be with them in...

So many memories Palm Springs to LA
My mother and Dad (Margaret and George Ponty) enjoyed many fun times with both of you. I am saddened by your loss and send my loving thoughts to you and your family--Nancy.
Barbara Knight sends her prayers to you as well.

I was so sad to hear that my cousin Desmond died. He was always so kind to my sister Carol, and me. My deepest sympathy to you Nancy, and all your children and grandchildren. Des loved all of you so much. Love Gail Roche

I miss the fun days on the tennis court with Des.

My dad Tom McDonough was a good old friend of Des's. Dad always spoke highly of him and the 'good old days' at USC.
Dad is gone a year and a half now. They will be glad to see one another!
Much sympathy and positive thoughts your way. God bless.Warm regards
