Just found out today he has passed, a year late but I think of Uncle Derek often anymore. Lots of great memories with him, working at the restaurant and in the Masons together in Lawrence County Illinois. I'd lots touch, but treasure the memories. Rest in peace Brother Hill.
Went to high school and was in scouts with Derek and lost track of him after he left Illinois in the mid-90s, but I’d think of him every now and then. Just discovered this today. My deepest condolences to the family.
