Derek was an avid golfer who lived life to the fullest. He spent many years refereeing hockey for the various leagues around the city. Through this, he developed many long-lasting friendships with referees and players alike.

When I must leave you for a little while Please do not grieve and shed wild tears and hug the sorrow to you through the years But start out bravely with a gallant smile and for my sake and in my name live on and do all things the same. Feed not your loneliness on empty days Fill each waking hour in useful ways Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer and I in return will comfort you and hold you near. And never, never be afraid to die for I am waiting for you in the sky. Rest in Peace my Darling Husband We love you, Dad. KNYSH FUNERAL CHAPEL 582-0973
