EDWARD PHILIP DERKS

I thought of us today. Wishing you happiness.

Ed, I miss you old friend. I think of you often. Gail, If you read this, please call me. 439-0546.

Thought of you yesterday Ed. Saw a You Tube video on a Hemi Bug-Eye Sprite and thought of yours and our trip to Panama City with four of us in the Sprite. OW!

There were so many memorable times that we shared. Carrying papers for the Albany Herald, fishing, camping, riding scooters and motorcycles. Best times ever! And we spent them together old friend. I miss you more than I can say. I know you and Gary Hammons are up to mischief somewhere..... See you soon.

Bruce and I talk about you often. It seems like out childhood was just a wink of the eye ago, and in no time we will all be together again with all our old friends who have gone before us. Until then, rest in peace. Lynn

I think of you often Ed. I wish we were in your Austin Healy Sprite with the top down headed to P.C. I'll miss you until we meet again.

As I,He enjoyed a good game of pool and a cold beer.I will miss you my old friend.RIP.

I only knew Edward through our online forum. I only learned of his passing today, and I can say that he will be very missed. His wonderful insights were a pleasure to read. I offer my condolences to his family. I will miss seeing him around.

Although I've only known Edward on the gamers forum we both frequented, and never had the opportunity to meet him, I would have loved to sit down and share a beer or two with him. He was a down to earth man, and I respected him for that. His posts showed that he was both intelligent and considerate. He shared some of his life with us and we all looked forward to his posts. His passing has left a big hole on our online community, and I doubt it will ever feel the same again. Rest in peace...
