Title: Church service in Des' memory
Post by: PrzemoL on February 03, 2018, 03:24:48 AM
Filled with sorrow for our great loss I would like to let you know that there will be a Holy Mass celebrated in my parish catholic church in Poznan, Poland for the peace of Des' soul and the eternal joy in heaven for him.

The Mass will take place on:
Thursday, 15th of February, at 8.00am Central European Time (GMT+1).

I invite all who care, to join this ceremony in heart and with prayers.

I suppose it would be barely possible but if anyone has a chance to come to my place and participate in person, please contact me by PM, so that I could pass the necessary details, where exactly the service takes place.

Excellent idea.

I'm not religious, but I'll have a thought for Des at the time of the Mass  :'(

By using the internet, it may be possible to share this event. It could even be through posts on this forum

That seems appropriate somehow

Like others, unfortunately I cannot be there in person, but I will attend in spirit.

Thank you Prez for this wonderful gesture to the memory of a truly Great Modeller.

The most touching and heart felt memorial one could have asked for such a great man.  Thank you.  I will pay my own respects at this time.

Przemol, this is an excellent gesture. It will be 2 in the morning where I live, but when I awake, I will pay my respects first thing. Thank you for planting the seed for this thoughtful gesture.

So that's, what, a 9 hour time difference between Pacific Standard Time in the US and Poland? 10 hours? And yes, Przemol, a very thoughtful gesture.

I have just checked. It is indeed 9 hours difference. So it will be 11.00 pm Feb 14th.

Przemo, even though I`m not religious at all, I think it is a great idea to pay Des respects. I hope to be able to be there in person it`s not that far away from my place after all. I must admit I`m devastated with Des`s departure. He was one of the most influential modellers in my life. I wish I had a chance to meet him in person...

Dear Friends

It’s very likely I’ll be awake rocking my teething son to sleep, so I will make an effort to join in spirit.

I‘m on my way to work right now, as the service is beginning. Will have some quiet moments to thankfully think of Des and the crowd of fellow-modellers all around this globe.

It is a cold, clear, calm and moonless night north of Canada's capitol, Ottawa, at 2:00 AM, the same time that the Mass for Des is starting in Poland. The snow is bright in the light of our deck lamp. I am very glad that I can be here, now.

For Des: "May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord look upon you with Favour, and grant you Peace." God Bless. We will remember.

A huge and heartfelt Thank You to Przemol and everyone participating in and sharing the emotions of the Holy Mass for Des.

Our joint challenge for the future is to continue his forum in the way he would want and preserve and enhance his legacy to us all.
