Derek Stark

It is with very great sadness we have to announce that our beloved friend and Vice President Derek Stark passed away suddenly, during the evening of Thursday 2nd August 2007.

We offer our heart felt condolences to his wife Peggy, his daughters and all of the family on this very sad occasion.

We are all deeply shocked and saddened at Derek's passing and will, after a short period of reflection, place an appropriate and fitting tribute to a wonderful husband,father, grandfather and true gentleman .

For those of us whose lives you touched words cannot begin to express how your love or counsel will be deeply missed.

God Bless you Derek
