My sentiments are as handy jacks, only met him the once, a very smiley , warm and friendly old gent, one of life's good guys.

A sad loss.

This is heartbreaking news, As has already been said Derek was the true gentleman of this Forum and he will be sorely missed by all of his friends and family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Lillian and his family at this sad, sad time.

R.I.P Derek, it was a true pleasure speaking with you these last 3 years, Godspeed and goodnight mate, we’ll miss your posts and presence😢

So so sad to hear about Derek this morning. Such a lovely man. Always chatty and always very funny. We even shared a birthday! A true gentleman. I will miss him. Thinking of his lovely wife Lillian. RIP <3 xxxx

I'm so pleased that I had the opportunity to meet Derek at so many owners club events..
However my lasting memory of him will not be owners club related but of watching him marching proudly along Weymouth seafront at many of the towns veterans day parades. I shall lay a flower at the memorial for him at next years event.
Jan and I would like to pass our heart felt sympathies to Lillian and all his family and friends at this very sad time.

RIP Derek you were a true gentleman

Regards Ian

I never had the pleasure of meeting Dereck or his wife So I am deeply sorry to hear this sad news knowing that I will now never have the opurtunity to do so.

I can see that he was a well respected member of this club and I can only reiterate all that has been said in all of the comments that have been posted..

I'll keep it simple Derek, goodnight, God bless and we will meet again in a better place.

A sad loss of a wonderful gentleman. Derek was always a pleasure to speak to at the meets, he made time to speak to my late father at the meetings as well.

Our condolences to Lillian and family.

A few months ago Derek and I had a PM conversation about all the work that he did for the club. The great touch of always wishing folk a 'happy birthday' among other things that make such a difference to clubs and the like. I am very glad I did now.
RIP Derek. A true gent who will be sadly missed by all of us on here but more importantly by his loving family. My very best wishes are with you.
