The obituary notice of Desmond (Des) GREEN

Des was always good company, always interesting with a good knowledge of local history and of Devonport, he had a good memory of political events and of his own experiences. He was a good friend, he was good humoured, and his values were steadfastly rooted in the post war order and he will be very much missed. Geoff

I haven’t seen Des for years but I remember a lovely, kind man. We canvassed together back in Thatcher days and he once said: ‘ I could never vote Tory. I’d rather cut off my arm’ Love from Sue (Haines) now Orgill.

It is an honour to have known Des,a truly remarkable man.

Heartfelt condolences to Des’ family and friends.

A lovely person with many a great story to tell. A very civilised human being. Kept my father out of trouble on Friday afternoons for years. You’ll be greatly missed, Des.
