We have known Mark and Derek since 1987. We went to a few NASCAR races with Mary and Derek in Charlotte, NC. We loved their home in Wellsboro which we visited many times. What good times we had. Dave and I are so sad to hear of Dereks passing. We love you both very much. The picture attached is from the Ricky Rudd fan club meeting in Charlotte in approximately 2000.
