My Sincere condolences to Ben and to all of the Wilson family. Even though I only met Derick the once at Ben & Michelle's Wedding - it was easy to see he was a kind, caring and much loved man. RIP Derick, with my deepest sympathy, Joe O'Sullivan (Cork).

Dear Dot, I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Derek. As one of his former students, I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the privilege of learning under his guidance. Derek was not only a remarkable teacher but also an inspirational advocate for peace whose wisdom and dedication left a lasting impact on all who had the honor of knowing him. His passion for fostering understanding and harmony in the world was truly extraordinary, and his legacy will undoubtedly live on in the countless lives he touched. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with your family as you navigate this profound loss. With deepest sympathy, Jim Jim McCartney
