Went back up north last week, funeral was on thursday, a friend of his conducted the service and it was beautiful, he even managed to make us laugh a little and told me something I didn't know about Derrick, it seems he won an award for his art work in a Barrow competition.  I'd known he was good and often got commissioned to do art work but I didn't know about the award.

Just before this last illness (caused by the flu jab he had) he'd had a full Xmas dinner and enjoyed it very much, cooked by one of his two daughters as he could no longer manage things like that although prior to Legionaires he's cooked for between 12 to 27 people every Sunday.  An amazing man.

Thank you all for your thoughts.  I appreciate it.
