Derek Murphy (18 Aug 1944 - 16 Jan 2024)

This was some money left over from the Airedale Heifer

I would like to thank everyone who attended Derek’s funeral today. And kindly donating to the air ambulance, a charity close to Derek’s.

A fabulous charity, donation made in memory of Spud.

Cherished memories of my childhood are synonymous with fond memories of Spud. A quiet, kind gentleman who always wore a smile and teamed it with a holiday passion for burgundy socks, TCP and a cig to light the way in the dark. He was one of a kind, one of 'the gang' and will be missed.

In memory of Spud and old friend.

Spud was one of life's true gentlemen. A good friend for over 40 years. Rest in peace

Derek was a valuable member of the team at keighley college. Never happier than when he was unblocking sewers with fag in his mouth, and I am sure he will be missed by many. RIP Derek.

I worked with Derek at Keighley College and I really admired him. He was endlessly patient and never complained. I learnt some good DIY tips from him too !

Good charity choice 👍 Spud

Fond memories from ‘camping’ days. RIP

Spud, you were a huge part of the crowd of pals in camping, music and diving trips. Sadly gone but never forgotten. Rest in peace my old friend.

A true gentleman that I have been pleased to call a close friends for nearly 50 years. RIP Spud

Spud, you were a one off and will be sadly missed
