albannachxcuileag Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 This letter from his Daughter to flytyingforum on 12th December In the early hours of Sunday morning my dad had a serious accident and he is now in intensive Care at Kettering General Hospital. He hasn't regained consciousness as yet and we really need him to wake up. If anyone on this list has any messages that we can read to him or even jokes that we can tell him, it could really help. I will keep you updated Jordana This was updated last night (17th December) with the announcement of Derek's death without regaining conciousness from the accident. Derek was an extremely gifted tier specialising in Salmon flies and had a talent envied by many for the exactness and detail in his flies. You can see some of his work in the UK Fly Dressers forum, Derek Burwood - Salmon Flies. Our condolences and sympathies go out to his family and friends at this time. A sad loss to all who knew him and his tyings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydropsyche Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 He was an extremely talented dresser. I'm sure those will be cherished for a long, long time. Life can be taken on very short notice. Live, Love, Fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
