Derek was a good friend with a delightful sense of humour. As a bass in the church choir, his renditions of Welsh hymns were a joy to hear. God rest his soul.

Derek was a wonderful guy and a true gentleman who will be greatly missed by anyone fortunate enough to have met him. Rest in peace, dear friend!
