Des Rowan - Joe Jordan - 12-02-2020
It saddens me to have to inform you of the passing of our friend and club mate, Des Rowan.
Des returned to chess about six years ago and was an enthusiastic player in the Glasgow and Dumbarton leagues and regularly attended various congresses around Scotland up to the end of last season.
Des was a popular player, always friendly and cheery, only too happy to listen to our tales of woe of how we blew our last game from a winning position. He truly will be sadly missed.
His funeral will take place at 2pm on Monday 17th February at Linn Crematorium.
