My sincere condolences to Derrik's family. Like many others, I knew Derrik when he worked at Western Electric, in their Bell Labs Fullerton office. He was a great guy - friendly, always polite, a quick smile, a great laugh, fun to be with. I was sorry to learn of his passing. Make the angels laugh, Derrik.

I can't believe he's gone. Skip and I just visited with him in February. I loved him like a brother and was a better person for knowing him. He had a laugh like no other and could be the life of any party. We will miss you my friend.
Love,
Jane and Skip Breitfeld

This is very sad news. I started working with Derrik at ATT in the mail room. We were pretty close during those years going out to lunch. We actually shot pool together at the old Jordan lanes. Derrik was a real person if there ever was one. His laughter was infectious. He was a real great guy and I can kick myself for not staying in touch with him. Rest in peace Derrik.
