We didn’t know Derek for a long time but have known Pat for over 50 years. Derek was a kind, sincere man - a real gentleman. He became a good friend and it was a privilege to have known him. Rest in Peace Derek.

Derek - my oldest friend in every sense of the word. So many happy memories of such a funny, thoughtful, gentle man. So sad that you have gone so suddenly. Although I won't physically be there, my thoughts will be with Pat and the family, and I will raise a glass to remember you. RIP Derek, with love x
