Des was stationed in Baltimore after OHS with Jim Conlon. They "commuted" to Long Island together on the weekends.

High school would have been a boring place, indeed, without Des. Whether it was walking to the Townee Tavern in a blinding snow storm or cramming for the Chemistry Regents, it was all a blast because of Des' quick wit and infectious laugh. Gus' alter-ego will live on in our memories. See you on the other side bro.
