Gary Patrick "Poppy" Desmore

Pat was a one of a kind gentleman. We were friends in high school, and I always enjoyed his friendship. Rest in peace Pat.

It is never easy when God calls someone we love back home, and my prayers have been with you since I heard the news. Some of us have reminisced the gifts of Pat in our younger years, and have enjoyed some wonderful memories. Wishing you and your family smiling memories to help you through this very difficult time.
Loving thoughts,
Sandy Cooper

As an HHS alumni, c/o '63, I know the heartache of losing a husband. The pain is so intense, you feel like you'll never smile again. But you will in time. The wonderful memories, loving friends and family, and most of all, God, will keep you going. As you go through this grieving process, reach out to people for comfort and support. Don't recluse yourself. Cry all you want, it's okay.

Sonny, Today as I was shopping, I heard the song Away in the Manger. I remember, when you were five years old and sang it in the Christmas play at church. You were the littlest angel in the play. Now, you have your wings and are my special angel. Merry Christmas, my brother. Love your sister Mar.

Dear Maureen and Family,
So hard to believe, We think of all the times we were together. Pat was such a strong and self assured man. We will miss him.
Much Love, as always your friends.

To my Great Uncle Sonny, I'm sadden by your passing because I've thought a lot about you recently because my daughter (you're great great niece) was baptized in the same dress my mother Tammy and I had wore to our baptizing. You to got a dress since you were the God parent of my mom. So that dress went through 3 generations so far and many to come, all because of you.
