My heartfelt condolences to all the family. Mr Derek, as we knew him in the 12th Leeds Boys Brigade, was a quiet, respectful man who just got on with the business of ‘doing’, whatever he was asked or saw needed doing. I long remember the green Land Rover being full of lads on Friday nights or on weekends away. Rest in peace now Mr Derek.
