Desmond Mullen, 25 June 2005 It is with profound grief that we offer our condolences to the family of the late Desmond Mullen, addressor to the Haggis and friend. A true Scot from Glasgow, he was not only one of those people genuinely "larger than life" and a joy to be around, he was a staunch supporter of Friends of Scotland and, of course as Managing Director of Volvo CZ, a main contributor to the Burns Night. Above all he will be remembered for having rendered the best recitation of Burns' Address to a Haggis in our long experience. His death was a tragically ironic reflection of his lust for life: on his last day in the Czech Republic prior to taking a new position in Moscow, he was determined to finish his final round at Konopiště golf course. As a thunderstorm rolled in, he was playing the 18th hole when he was struck by lightning. He leaves behind his wife Helen and three children. Desmond, where your footsteps fell in the world you left behind a happier place. We will meet again at the great Celidh in the sky, where Aboon them a' yet tak your place. |
