I feel so lucky that my path crossed over Derek's, to have shared his joy, his wisdom and knowledge of all things. He is forever in my heart, as I know he is for so many who know and love him.
My thoughts are with you all.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
