Adrian Despres

My condolences to the family. He and Gloria were schoolmates of mine in CCHS. I'm so sorry for the loss of both.

I am sorry for such a late post, but we just found out about Adrian's passing.

Adrian was a kind and giving neighbor. He loved talking to our twin girls and he was so helpful to me. I asked to borrow a tool and Adrian came over to see what I was doing. He said, "give me five minutes ", he walked back to the house and came back with a wheelbarrow full of tools and proceeded to help me repair my stair rails. Front and back.

My wife and I are sad because he is gone, but we do rejoice knowing where he is today. We will miss him greatly. Keeping you in our prayers.

Adrian was my manager at Nortel China, he has been a great mentor and friend over the years. We will miss him and Gloria. Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss.

I purchased two pieces of furniture from Adrian . They will last forever. They will be even more special now that I know so much more about this man. What a wonderful tribute to your father and what an amazing man he was . How wonderful to know that he will move on to e with the Lord. How blessed his family is.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I had the honor of playing golf with A.D and his sons on a number of occasions. A very close knit family that always supported one another in their diverse careers and diverse geographies. Adrian got to build his garage because "Every man must have a garage" he did some great wood working out there.
He is now back together with his beloved wife Gloria and will be looking down proudly at his children and grands.

He sounds like an extraordinary man, father, and mentor. All of you were fortunate to have him for so long.

I attended St. Francis school with Adrian and Pierre and with their cousin, Edmund Bagnell (he was my best friend). I played football with Adrian. A year behind him in school. I was always impressed that he and Pierre were Life Guards at Rock Lake Pool. That was impressive. The spring of 1958, at our high school picnic at Coonskin Park, Adrian saved John Stepto from drowning in the Elk River. He did it without any fanfare. Just another day in Adrian's busy life. My love to the family, Don Nally Irving Texas

A beautiful tribute to your Dad! I knew both your Mom and Dad from St Francis Grade School and continuing to CCHS. I was an upper classmate by 2 years but remember them well. I'm praying for continuing blessings for his loved ones comfort and peace.
