On behalf of Irish Veterans, we would like to express our shock and deep sorrow at the untimely death of our good friend Derek Davis.

Derek was a man of immense character, intelligence, and generosity. We are indebted to him for the help he gave us.

The world is a colder place without his charm, his wit and his kindness.

We salute him, and we will not forget him.
