I only became acquainted with Derek briefly from my occasional early morning coffee to McDonald’s in Clarenville in the last couple of years. I found him to be a very gentle soul who talked about his grandchildren whom he loved.RIP Derek

November 6, 2020 at 11:04 amDerek was a man who brightened up my day at McDonalds. As a young college student, I would leave every four months and come back for Christmas and for the summer. I always looked forward to coming back and seeing him. He was always so friendly and kind! And he really made an impact on my life the short time I knew him. As someone who is so much younger than he was, I still considered him a friend. My condolences to all his family. This man has made an impact on people you don’t even know. Praying that God will comfort you during this time as I know He will. God is still good.
