To the Williams Family…My sincere sympathy on Derek’s passing. We were neighbours on Tunis Court, all growing up together, and having a wonderful time playing outdoors in all seasons. The older kids, Derek included, took care of the younger ones. It was a great place to grow up. and I have fond memories of Derek and all the families on the court.

DIANE…DEREK, KAREN, MICHAEL and families.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Derek. My deepest condolences go out to all of you!
Condolences as well to the “Williams clan” who grew up as our neighbours on Tunis Court. We are part of approximately 200 children who grew up on the Court – all children of the servicemen who were lucky enough to return home from WWII.
May all of your wonderful memories of Derek carry you through the days and weeks ahead.
So sorry that I can’t be there. Thinking of all of you at this time and saying a prayer for Derek. Rest In Peace, dear neighbour!

Daine and Family:
