I was sorry to hear of Dermot’s passing. He and I were both Friends of Bill W when Dermot lived in Burlington, Vt. He and I also shared in common our very Irish heritage.
I miss Dermot, and hope he is at peace. I’m glad our paths crossed in life.
My condolences to his family and friends.
RIP, buddy.
