So sorry to hear of your Father's passing, Terry. You can only celebrate such a long life. I'm sorry we never met him.
My Dad died in December going on 92. I was in IA, last month, to celebrate my Mother's 90th birthday.
We haven't seen y'all for so long.

My Dad (Jack Jones - the Palms) was so sad to hear that Mr. Derrick had passed away. He has missed him so much since he left the Palms. We all enjoyed his stories and his great sense of humor.

My deepest condolences to the family. Mr. Derrick as I referred to him was a great friend and neighbor , I loved to hear his stories of war, his love of riding his motorcycle to Myrtle Beach from Conway , and the history of the neighborhood and of Charleston. I will miss him deeply .

With love, Karen
