                That is tragic. He has managed difficult times since I have known him, and his wife is a charming lady who has a heart of gold. She contacted me about some things she wanted to do for Derek, and this is very upsetting to hear for me.

                Derek, if you are reading this, know that you all will be in my thoughts. If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to contact me at theclares@aol.com. You are a friend, and a good person. If you just need someone to talk to, I'll be happy to give you a call.

                            Derek's a really good guy who'd do anything for you and really loved the hobby.

                            Nobody, especially him, deserves this sort of pain in life.

                            We should all remember him and his family in our prayers.

                              My thoughts and prayers for Derek and his family. I found out that Derek and I had grew up in the same town, but we had never met.


                              Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?
