I'm sorry to hear of Derek's accident. Although I never met him face to face and we didn't correspond here on the site on any regular basis I had the feeling of great respect for the man. I always felt he was one to listen to when he spoke whether you agreed with him or not.
My best wishes to you and your circle of friends and family and my regret for never having shook his hand.
