Published by Saskatoon StarPhoenix on Dec. 6, 2012.
DAVID MURRAY DERDALL
October 28, 1946 - December 4, 2012
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dave Derdall on December 4, 2012. He is survived by his wife, Jeanene; his daughter Dawn Petersen (Dean); son-in-law, Paul Yausie; grandsons, Ben and Seth Petersen, Jack, Joe and Jon Yausie; sister-in- law and brother-in-law, Burnette and Terry Wing; sister-in-law, Yvette Whitcomb. Dave was predeceased by his parents Richard and Mabel Derdall, his brother, Dennis and his daughter, Dena Yausie. Dave was born in Outlook, SK and at a young age he moved to Saskatoon. A natural born athlete, he became involved in various sports that included Senior Men's Fastball and hockey. Dave played his Junior hockey in Winnipeg and then went on to play for the Eastern Hockey League in New Haven, Connecticut. When he returned to Saskatoon he played for the Saskatoon Quakers. He also played for the Saskatoon Merchants and Rempel Bros. fastball teams. Dave will be sadly missed and our cherished memories will be forever in our hearts. According to Dave's wishes, a private family gathering will follow at a later date.

So sorry to hear about Daves passing. I remember him as a friendly uncle who was always willing to chat kindly to us kids. As one of the D named kids we always loved when your crew of D named people came over to play. Take care.

Hi, I'm very sorry for your loss. Dave was always kind and helpful. As some of the kids with D names we loved when we could all get together to play with your D kids and the D dads. Take care.

Dear jeanine and Family. Just ever so sorry to hear about Dave. His quiet modestly and smile could quite easy cover over all the personal and professional talents.

Sorry to hear of Dave's passing he was a close childhood friend. We enjoyed being on the Zeman baseball team, and wore the same jerseys playing for City Park Midget hockey club. He was a great team mate and friend and will be sadly missed.Condolences to the Derdall family.

To the Family of Dave Derdall:
I wasn't a friend of Dave's but rather an admirer. Growing up in Saskatoon I recall numerous hockey and baseball games where Dave was suited up with the opposing team. While we hoped that he wouldn't have another great game, we secretly admired Dave's talent.
Sincere sympathy,

Although we hadn't seen each other in many years it gave me a deep saddness when I heared of Dave's passing. Dave was not only a great athelete and team mate but more importantly, one of the really good people I have known. My sincere condolences go out to Jeanene and the family.

Jeannine and Family
Very sorry to hear the sad news about Dave. Just had some "old" Saskatoon Merchant photos out last week. My how time flies?
I will always remember Dave's little "mischeivious" smile and what great hands he had at Shortstop and at Centre when I played hockey with him. He was a very good goal scorer but got more satisfaction from passing and setting up a nice goal!
We are thinking of you and wish you all the best!
