DEREK WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON. I DON'T JUST SAY THAT BECAUSE I AM HIS MOTHER BUT BECAUSE I SAW ALL THOSE LIVES HE TOUCHED IF EVEN FOR A MOMENT COME TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS TO HIM NOT ONLY IN FLORIDA BUT ALSO HERE AT HOME IN NEW YORK. HE WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED BY SO MANY. WE AS HIS FAMILY ARE DEVASTATED BY THIS LOSS & HOPE TO BE ABLE TO TELL HIS DAUGHTER AS SHE GROWS UP JUST WHAT A WONDERFUL DAD SHE HAD. SHE WAS HIS WORLD AS HE WAS HERS.
