Dear Sheila, Vanessa, Stephanie and families,
Tom and I were with you all in spirit today, watching Derek’s heartfelt farewell at home with cups of tea. We laughed and cried, enjoyed all the stories and photos very much. He cut quite the figure at times.
We too will miss him — his stories, discussions, laughter, joy of celebrating and socialising with red wine in one hand and cigar in the other, his eyes twinkling. I will always remember having a cuppa with him at the end of a good night on Boxing Day.
We are sad that he has gone and we send you all our love and hugs,
Rosie and Tom
Sending our love and strength in these sad times. I have many fond memories of Derek and he will be very missed by all that knew him and his beautiful big smile.
All of our love Nat, Adam, Tia, Harry, Ollie and Oscar Church xxx
Lovely tribute to a lovely man. He would be so proud. Our thoughts & prayers to all the family. We are so grateful we were able to join you today. Love, David & Jean xx
Beautiful memories of Derek, from a life well lived. Tears, smiles, laughter and love felt throughout the service and I am going to put the kettle on now for Derek and have a cup of tea ….. just as if he is here. Much love to all of you and may his physical absence be replaced in your hearts with cherished memories and conversations with him always. He will be surely missed, but never forgotten. xxxx
Thankyou for making it possible for us to be part of this beautiful service to say goodbye to big brother Derek. I am so proud of Vanessa and Stephanie with their tribute to their dad a beautiful family and look forward to meeting up soon.
Sending lots of love and hugs to a beautiful sister in law from Colin and Malcolm xxx
Think of you Shelia, Vanessa and Stephanie on the loss of Derek.
We will always remember the lovable larrikin a drink in one hand and a cigar in the other. The Derek we knew was a kind, intelligent man who really made an impact on those around him.
He will be sadly missed
Lots of love
Warren, Janelle, Beau, Morgan, Reilly and Liam
Our heartfelt condolences Sheila, Stephy & Ness.
We will surely miss the presence of Derek, a truly lovable and kind person.
Derek was always down for a good banter with Chilli on the EPL (Football).
I know that what you are all going through right now is very difficult, just know that we are here for you all.
Thank you Sheila, Vanessa and Stephanie for allowing us to be with you, for what was a lovely and warm celebration of Derek’s life. Our thoughts and prayers to all of you and your families.
Sending you lots of love.
Mark and Karen, Jessica and Jamie.

Shedding lots of tears in Chicago. Such a beautiful ceremony. We wish we could be there with you now to polish off some glasses of red (in Derek’s honor of course!).
I remember the very first Christmas I came to Reeds. Derek discovered I’d lived near Whitehaven for some time. We quickly becomes buddy’s based on that alone. Take care mate, it’s been a pleasure!
Thoughts are with you all.. big hole left in everyone’s hearts with the loss of big D from “Clarty Moor”. Will miss all those big discussions we always had. A special man gone too soon. love Gill and Steve
