I'm so sad to have been told of the loss of Derek so long after the event. He was a pivotal figure in his family, a hard worker with an infectious cheeky personality. I regret not being able to say goodbye. It was a privilege to have known him. God bless

Ann and family. Thinking of you all and sharing with you the loss of a fantastic friend. He has left a huge hole and I miss his wide smile and cheeky wink. One of the kindest, most thoughtful and generous men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Your big Teddy Bear May be at rest Ann, but his spirit lives on. Lots of Love Alan & Sue
