Title: Its with sadness i have to announce the Death of Derek Jones Username Meshak Post by: PHIL YNYSBOETH on July 28, 2009, 07:59:01 AM Hi All
Derek passed away suddenly from a suspected Heart attack Yesterday afternoon while Gardening . Many will know Derek for his Bad Jokes and great storys mostly from his time as a Policeman in the Abercycnon area. Derek was a keen detectorist and was a RARE member many years ago only to rejoin 2 years ago after i moved next door but one. Derek had an email off Neil saying he had a place for the next DW rally in the morning before he died he was looking forward to coming and use his New laser hawkeye for the 1st time ;0( Many of you would have met Derek at the 2nd DW rally at Caerleon Tall chap white hair he found a bent hammered. To jog forum members memorys he was on the DW video from Caerleon. If anyone would like to leave a message even if you knew Derek or not i know his wife and family would be touched Id like to print this off to show his wife and family the good friends hes made while detecting and on the Detecting wales Forum as a form of condolance book . Keep swinging up there Derek God bless you ! Your Friend Phil Title: Re: Its with sadness i have to announce the Death of Derek Jones Rare Member !
