Comment posted to My eggs don't taste the same without you:
My wife, a cousin (Purcell) to the McGowan boys, spent some of her early life in Branford and was especially close to Dennis who was her age. We had the privilege of attending a Farquahr concert at a pub in Essex back in '69. Dennis passed away a few years ago of cancer. One brother, Bobby, is still going strong, and we've visited with him a time or two in the past couple of years, most recently at a Purcell Family reunion in Branford this summer. Bobby is a great guy, and when we visited he was in the process of closing up the antique car restoration activities he and his brothers shared over the years. Standing in his "office" and trying to take in all the memorabilia which covered all possible surfaces in that room was pretty overwhelming and nostalgic. Somebody really should put a little friendly pressure on Bobby to chronicle The Fabulous Farquahrs!!
