Memories of you will be laughter and joy And you could never be classed as coy A group of us would meet every week A date at the Liberal Club we would keep We'd dance and sing with a joke or two It would never have been the same without you Then Valerie took a shine to you And some time later you said "I Do" We've kept in touch through all these years At family re-unions laughed with tears Thank you Derek for the joy you have spread You'll be sadly missed it must be said. God Bless you Derek from Julie and Colin
