Derek (dr del): Tribute to an Amazing Person

It is with utmost sadness that I have to share the news of the passing of one of our long time administrators. Derek, known here as dr del, joined the forum way back in 2006 and served as an admin for many years. He was a very prominent and ever helpful voice in our community. I could not have asked for a better partner in running the forum.

Derek was such an amazing presence here. If you knew him, you know what I mean. Willing to help out in any situation. Amazing sense of humor. Someone you could really count on. He stood out as one of those people that you want to have in your life.

If you are unfamiliar with who Derek was, it is only because his health issues in the last year kept him away from the forum. He was greatly missed during that time, and he will be eternally missed now.

Rest In Peace Derek. We love you. ❤️

So sorry to hear this. RIP dr del. [emoji1665]

Oh no! He was one of my favorite members here. I remember back when I joined he was extremely helpful.

RIP Derek. The world is a lesser place without you.

Oh no, I was afraid it was something like this- he stopped posting so suddenly a while back, after being such a presence here. I wish I'd had more time to know him better. :(
Rest in peace Derek- "dr del" -:please: We sure miss you.

Sorry to hear of his passing :'(

So sorry to hear this,

Very shocked and sad to hear this. Dr. Del always gave such helpful advice and I loved his sense of humour. He was a treasured member of the BP.net community and he will be missed :(

So sorry to hear this news. I remember him well. Rest in Peace.

This is such sad news. I remember dr. del from when I first joined this community many years ago. He was a great man indeed and will be very missed. RIP Derek

Very sad loss to the community, he was very helpful around here.
