I am really sorry to hear of Derek's passing, but I have not logged in for quite sometime (shameful).
Derek was always a very friendly face at the meets and Lilian to. I have suffered my health problems over the last few years and Derek would always ask after my health a selfless man and a proud man.

R.I.P Derek

I too have not log into the form for some time and am very saddend to read of Derek's passing.
I never met him but he was always kind a friendly and had a wonderful way of involving all members of this special club.
Rest in Peace Derek.

Just called back onto the website after a long time away and this news has knocked me for six, Derek was one of the folks who offered me comfort when I lost my dad and shared my joy when my son was born, What a rotten shame. Rest Peacefully Derek.

Unfortunately I have never had the pleasure of meeting Derek, he sounds like an absolute and total Gent.
Also ... it is clear we all owe him a debt of gratitude not just for his service to the club but his service to our country too.
R.I.P. Derek. And sincere condolences to Lilian and family.

Today marks the anniversary of Derek’s passing. He is remembered with much fondness as he was a good friend to many of us, a Rover and Marmite connoisseur.

Some never met Derek, but his legacy lives on, how cool that is. His dedication alongside his military service and pride in that, is proof of how inspirational he has been.

If everyone in this world was as honourable and gentlemanly as our Derek, the world would be a happy place to live in.

God rest you Sir, my glass is raised once again in your memory.
