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.

Very sad loss for this community. Wishing the best to Derek's family and friends in this difficult time.

I lost my father on thanksgiving many years ago and it doesn't make for an easy holiday either now or in the future.

G-dspeed Dr. Del.

I'm sorry to hear this.

I remember plenty of his informative and witty posts.

I just lost a very close friend named Derek on November 16.

It makes this an even more sad month.

R.I.P. to the Dereks.

Oh, I am sad to hear this. I always looked for his posts even when I was lurking here and hadn't yet joined. He certainly left a wonderful legacy of being kind, funny, and helpful to so many. Blessings to him and his loved ones.

Definitely was one of the best on the forum. Sorry to hear he's gone.
I remember when I first started posting here how helpful or thoughtful some of his posts were.

Gone too soon but not forgotten. RIP brother! ❤️🌟

I'm new here and unfortunately never got to know him, but I'm sorry to hear this. He left a great legacy and has been very helpful, I always enjoyed reading his posts.

He will be missed for sure. Great person.

Man, what a loss. Dr. Del had many insightful contributions to this forum and was a wonderful guy.

He did give me my first and only infraction back when I first started out on this forum.
