Derek was an avid skier and ultimate Frisbee player, an incessant tinkerer, an adventurous cook, a budding wine geek, a brew-master, a retro audiophile and a lover of both cutting edge technologies and antiquated machines, especially his beloved MG: with all, keeping friends ever close at hand. Derek was a rare and beautiful soul, the likes of which we will never see again. He leaves an unimaginable hole in our hearts.
