Dear Nan, my heart goes out to you and family. How our plans and dreams are changed so cruelly. Des was unique. His story telling,his views (name a subject!), his career as father-in-law(films are made with lesser men),his 1-2 step left foot pass X 30,his coaching jargon/rants.his rangy swimming style, the memories are endless Your grief must be huge. Barb(dec) and I loved him Terry

To the Meagher family
I am greatly saddened to hear the news of Des' passing. As all the tributes attest your husband, Dad, Grand Dad, Father in law was a wonderful man. I played under his tutelage at Whitefriars FC. I loved him as a coach and would do anything for him. The last time I saw him was at Box Hill hospital 4 years ago where I was with my wife and son attending a specialist appointment regarding a pretty serious condition my son had. We had a conversation that put us more at ease with the situation we found ourselves and this conversation probably represents the millions of terrific words that have sprung from his mouth that have assisted others over the years. He will be sadly missed by those that have had the great pleasure to meet him.

Dear Nan and family,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. You may not know me, as I have worked with Des for only 2 years out of his 40-year service at BHH. Despite this short duration, he has left a big impression on me and has gained my utmost respect. He was someone to whom I looked up to (literally and metaphorically :) ). He will be deeply missed. "Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul rest in peace. Amen"

I ask myself........
Why did I not make more of an effort to see him? Why were my phone calls few and far between? Why did i take so long to reply my emails? Why will I never get a reply from the email I sent him on his birthday? How can someone who I have know for 10 years impact and influence me so much?

I remember him by.........
"Yes my dear?" he said as I walked into his office
"You twit!" he shouted when I did something wrong
"Twinkle Toes" he called me when he forgot my name
"Oscar" he named my son while I was still deciding
"Wrong number" he said to me when I called his home with an asian accent.

Thank you for sharing your life with us Mr Meagher!

Thank you Nan for sharing your soul mate! I pray that you remember the happy times, treasure the special moments and continue to live out the life he would want you to live!

Our love, respect and prayers go out to you and your family.

Love,
Paula Kenny and Marcus (Oscar)

Hi Nan and girls (and extended families),

When I think of Des I think of the fun times we had at the footy Club, the social events were our priorities.

Peter and Des shared so many milestones together. They both started their footy careers in 1966 at Hawthorn. Had their testimonials together. You were engaged a week before us, and we were married in a day of each other. We even had babies on the same night - visitors could see us both at the same time (we had rooms next to each other) what a hoot! Peter and Des had to get permission from the hospital to hold their babies for a photograph in "The Sun", how times have changed.

Thank goodness Des broke the trend and lived 34 years longer than Peter.

On a positive note he could see his children grow up, share many happy times with his grandchildren and many years with beautiful Nan. His passing is still too soon, he looked like he would be with us forever.

I feel for you Nan, I will always be there for you. Hopefully the beautiful memories you have of Des, your wonderful family, and many, many caring friends will give you strength in the months and years ahead.

Love Gwen x

Dearest Nan

There have been so many genuine words spoken of Des but I really want you to seek the strength from all your mates as well as Des. We have always been a tight bunch since '71 with such happy reunions and antics from the clowns. Des remains one of the unique characters who made any connection a pleasure if not a query. Your natural response in embracing Des's friends stands as a beacon to the meaning of true friendship. We will all salute our mate tomorrow and stand as one in admiration of your extradordinary gift as a wife, mother and friend.
Those who have met you and understand your sacrifices will continue to envy your spirit.
I am privileged to have played and coached with Des. He set targets which many found too high, but he never lost sight of the value of the word 'team'.
See you tomorrow.
Draw strength from those who surround you and your family.

Bob

And so we said goodnight, but not goodbye today.

Despite the difficulties, despite the tears, we laughed, we remembered, we rejoiced in what was truly an inspirational life. Des clearly had an impact on all of us, in both small and big ways. His way was quiet, modest and humble. And yet, he was a leader, someone we could go to for guidance. That guidance is still there, his words still linger, his opinion is still known.

Even though we knew him, we now know him so much better because we have all come together to share our stories, through the blog, through the eulogy, through the pictures, and through the memories.

What will be my enduring memory? Des once said when we were down at the beach, that he would go to bed early so he could get up early, ready to start the new day. I remember being amazed by this philosophy, so simple, and so true. Since then I've always pictured Des bounding out bed ready to start the new day. My other enduring memory is Des's commitment to family. He just had so much time for us, he made time for us, and he made the most of his time with us. I hope I can do that too. Even if it is just a fraction of what Des was like, I'll be remembering and trying to make the most of my time with family and loved ones, just like my Uncle Des.

I felt so priviledged to be present at Dessy's funeral yesterday. It was my birthday, but I was happy to spend the day farewelling such a wonderful man. Dessy we loved you and your beautiful family: Nanny, Jo, Lisa, Jane and Emma. We have many, many happy memories of our families together and I remember babysitting your gorgeous little girls, now x4 gorgeous big girls when you lived in Station Street, Box Hill. I loved having a chat with you when I worked in the Orthopaedic ward at BHH. You were truly an inspiration. Thank you for being so kind to my Dad, David, recently. He loved those bike rides up the hills around Inverloch. He looked forward to your chats and laughter each week. It will not be the same without you. Farewell beautiful Dessy, you will never be forgotten. With Love to you Nan and the girls. Melissa Baird (nee Menzies) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
