My sincere condolences to you, family of Derrick. We will miss our dear neighbor, his jokes always made me smile. He would help in so many kind ways in the neighborhood, whether to carry in groceries, mow the lawn, or just check to see if you needed something. Derrick was a good guy. All you needed to do was to ask him for assistance and he would do what he could.
