Derek (toro) have horrible news, he wanted me to tell you

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I will be praying too.

Derek, I am utterly horrified to read this. There are no words to expess how I feel. I would try Interpretive Dance, but that might make things even worse. If there was ever a Schlub who deserved a piece of Good Fortune pie, I would nominate you for it first.

Very sad news, indeed.

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.

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.
