This is only what the newspaper and funeral home had to say. I have been blessed to know, and be a friend to Desmond these past 30 years. Desmond lived to dance. He told me stories of how he came to the United States and worked at an Arthur Murray in New York which had feet on the studio floor. He thought that was quite ineffective as a dance tool because when you are learning to dance, you need to move, not look at feet on the floor and try to follow them. I really enjoyed dancing the Waltz with Desmond. He was as light as a feather. When I was new in the business, Desmond had me come by for some coaching and I remember he took me by the hand and walked me around the floor of his Lombard studio. He talked to me about the Terpsichore, and what a great organization it was. I had the pleasure of watching Desmond dance with his daughter Bernie, and I have gotten to hang with Paul. Desmond, I love you, and I will miss you. Thank you for the Rumba's.... I know you are in better hands now, and I would like to leave you with this....
May the Lord Bless you and keep you...
May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you....
May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace...AMEN
