I met Derek in August of this year as I was an inpatient in the hospital Derek was being treated at. My bed was opposite his , I have to agree with you Penny that he was a huge Character. I instantly took to his story telling and he really lifted my spirits at a very difficult time for me .
ReplyDeleteWe had some very interesting conversation's about nature/wildlife and I was amazed at his encyclopedic brain !
I only wish I had known him longer than the brief week that I chatted to him. Rest in peace Derek. My condolences to Derek's family.
