Feel like I’ve been run over by a truck, Edward. Didn’t know you knew Derek; but, I’m glad you did. I’m just reeling, cannot believe it, must believe it . . . Incredibly impossibly heart-breaking. Deepest condolences to his family, friends, co-workers, and all who knew and admired and loved him. RIP.
