My heartfelt sympathy to the family of Derrick. Derrick & I went to Wirt HS in the late 70's.
He & my brother Derek L. Collins shared the same, but the first name was spelled different. When speaking about a Derrick Collins it was always which one? Always fun times, haven't seen in years May you RIP my friend
