Dead RIP
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

Brought a lot of joy to people who liked his sort of laid back crooning and inoffensive humour. Was the good natured butt of many a joke on the Morecambe and Wise show mainly because they were best mates, he also guested a couple of times. Then other lesser comedians got in on the act taking the mickey which he wasn't happy about which I can't blame him for. Along with Val Doonican and Bruce Forsyth was the last of those old style all round family entertainers. RIP

The archetypal 'nice bloke'. He didn't exactly have me in stitches, but had a gentle, friendly way about him. RIP Des.
