That is awful. Poor Derek. How very sad. Covid-19 is such a terrible illness. Xxx

How sad, so sorry to hear this news. What a horrible disease. Thanks for the message Kate.

Thanks Kate I just picked up Kathym's message as you posted yours. He will be greatly missed. I have had some lovely pm's from him over the years.

Makes me realise how lucky I was with my dose of it.

That IS sad news.
It was thoughtful of his daughter to let us know and I send my love to the family.

What sad news. There have been so many deaths this year. Surely 2021 must be better.

The world of gardening has lost a lovely chap, very knowledgeable and always gave good advice over the years, we will all miss him so much, thanks for letting us all know Kate and may Derick rest in peace.

What a shock. He was always ready with a bit of good advice. Thank you Kate.
