  My sincere condolences to Carol and the family of Des Hickey. Des was a man of great character. He was larger than life and had a caring side to him that was unmistakable. I'm proud to have known and worked with Des years ago.
  
  He leaves behind fond memories and lifted spirits for everyone that he touched.

  Carol, Sherry, Rowan and families, I always remember visiting in Kelowna and having so much fun. Hearing Carol, Des, Dad, Uncle Ted and Mom, Auntie Blanche laughing and chuckling was the best! I am sure they are sitting down having a beverage and laughing as I speak. Hugs to you all and keep those memories close to your heart! I will raise my glass and have a toast to Captain Des tonight round the fire.

  My memories of Des goes back to the early 1960s when we were just a bunch of bachelors enjoying the the week end house parties. Des always had at his side his faithful friend Duke, his Great Dane.
  
  Always enjoyed Des company. My condolences to Carol and the family. He will be missed by all.
