My deepest condolences to Laura and all of Derek's family. I have many fond memories of Derek including the year that Santa came to see my sons on Christmas morning :). Derek never hesitated to share his thoughts and opinions and he always brought informed and insightful comments to any conversation. Derek was a kind and thoughtful man who will be missed by many.

Joan Richardson-Horsey and Rev. Herb Horsey posted a condolence
We send our condolences and prayers to Laura and Derek's families. Derek had a "joie de vivre" that was the envy of many. I always enjoyed bantering with Derek. He had a wicked sense of humour and could take it just as well as give it. Please know that each and every one of you will be lifted in prayers and embraced in love as you face the coming days. I regret that I will be unable to attend services because I will be out of the country over next weekend. I wish it was otherwise because I would like to represent my sister Dorothy Chapman, and her late husband, Rev. Ed Chapman. They have been friends with Cam and Jacquie and their families for decades. Both would be deeply saddened by Derek's passing. We send our love. Joan and Herb

My deepest condolences to the family. I had met the Groves family in my kindergarden years and was a close friend to Derek's youngest brother Chris. I had always admired Derek's musical talents, humour and wittiness. Too young and too soon. John Maki

We were sad to hear of the passing of Derek. Al spent several years with Derek in the Ingersoll Kinsman club and we became very good friends. He helped our son Wayne with his band and I (Norma) worked next door to him when he was at the Annexation office. He was a great friend and will be a long time remembered.

Laura & you're family, We're saddened by the news of Derek's passing, but we realise and sympathise with you at this most difficult time. Derek's joie de vivre was always a joy to be around. Our most favourite memories were of our evenings at the Corner Cafe in Mt.Brydges. The Hosannas table was the most spirited gang there!! Especially Derek! His bantering with Milestone, made our nights even more fun. Laura, You're loss is great but your memories will last a lifetime. Grieving your loss is normal and you need to do that now, but then the joy and love you have will return and be in your heart forever.
