I first met Derek Leaver in 1958. (I was 18 yrs old)With our mutual interest in motorcycles,we became good friends and rode together. We also messed about on the family sailing boats, at his home and at the Blackwater Sailing Club. 1961 I moved away and lost all contact till November 2015 when I spoke to him via telephone . Recently I was planning to visit Derek at home. But sadly, I was denied that pleasure of remembering all the great times spent together. My memories live on. R I P
I will always remember Uncle Derek as full of fun and as having a great love of sailing. With all my love, Lynne xx
