Derek Mumford

DEAR LINDA, CINDY AND I EXTEND TO YOU OUR DEEP SORROW AND PRAYERS, AT THE LOSS OF YOUR BELOVED DEREK.
DEREK AND I SHARED AN OFFICE WING WITH TWO OFFICES, FOR ABOUT EIGHT YEARS. DURING THAT TIME, I WAS PRIVILEGED TO KNOW AND LEARN FROM DEREK, AND MOST IMPORTANT, HIS WORK ETHIC, HIS CONCERN FOR EVERYONE HE WORKED WITH, AND HIS EVER EMPHASIS
ON CREDIBILITY, SKILL AND ACHIEVEMENT. HE WAS AN OUTSTANDING GENTLEMAN.

KNOW THAT WE KEEP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN OUR PRAYERS.

A true gentleman and a scholar. He provided kind and sage advice on work and life. Linda, condolences to you and your family.
