Del...
Sorry to hear of your Dad's Passing.

Even though I did not know him personally, I do feel a great loss for you.

It is a shame that his illness escalated to the point he could not travel, and we had to cancel the parade a couple of weeks ago...

I am glad I spoke to you in the week and you were mentally prepared for the worst.
You acted as a true and loyal greenjacket and your dad, I'm sure, was very proud of you.

I will call you in the week Del...

Condolences to you and your family...

Celer et Audax

A sad day indeed.
You wouldn't find a nicer bloke than Del; even when he was taking your money at doms or cards, he did it with a smile. Never once saw him cross. Every memory I have of him seems to be one of him smiling.

He had intelligence and charm in abundance, dry of wit and a real pleasure to be around, this kind man certainly brightened up my life.

Rest easy Del, you were a man worth copying - and that's how I will remember you.

What a sad day indeed, David Askew summed up my thoughts. Del was a man I knew, worked with and respected. A good man and the world is poorer for his passing.
My condolence to Del Jr and family.
Rest In Peace Del.

Just Returned from holiday and one of the first things I do is check the Green Jacket Site.  It is really very sad news to hear about the death of Derek.  I think that all of us who new and worked with him would agree with everything Dave Askew has said.  It was a pleasure to have met him, worked with him and played with him.  He was a real gent.

Ann, my sons Alan and Daniel pass our best onto Kath and the rest of the family.

What a sad day

Alan Rogers
