With thanks for Derek's life -
Many different memories, of the amazing photographs he took and his depth of knowledge of the various birds (very impressive), his incredible partnership with Shelagh across so many decades together, and his love and support of his family and friends. Derek cared.
The funniest memory may well be our October visit when the kids were little and he organised us stuffing the spider's legs full of leaves; we had such a fun afternoon and were delighted when we actually did get it finished and he propped it up ready for Halloween - he was very patient with us all and definitely a man on a mission!
praying that all the shared happy memories bring comfort at this very sad time.
- may Derek rest in eternal peace.
with love - Carol, Jenny, Holly & Kieran, EJ and Cooper x

Dear Shelagh & family: I was so sorry to hear of Derek's passing. He always cheered me up with his lovely photos that he took, to say nothing of his quirky humour. I am sorry I will not be able to attend but mobility is causing me many problems. Thinking of you all at this sad time and sending many hugs to you all.

I cannot imagine the vastness of loss to you and yours. When I think of Derek, I remember constancy, consistency, compassion, chuckles (I remember his parents well!), conversations and kindness. A legendary gentleman.
From all of us in Denmark, warm love and hugs

Uncle Derek - always excited to see us and welcoming, with lots of stories to share. He loved his family and enjoyed so many good times with them. Married to my lovely Aunty Shelagh for nearly 71years they shared so many adventures together. His passion for nature and skill at capturing its beauty on camera was inspirational. He passed peacefully surrounded by the love he nourished all his life. Thinking of the whole family as everyone navigates the suddenness of his loss.
