Derek WILLIAMS Obituary

WILLIAMS, Derek Vernon:
We are very sad to announce that last Saturday Derek passed away after battling a short illness. He was the wonderful husband and precious best friend of Bev, very much loved father of Gayleen, John, Rhys and Gareth, father-in-law of Les, Keryn and Christy, beloved Grandad of Tara, Danielle, Meg, Jack, Caleb, Corban, Emily, Sydney and Grace, and great-grandad to Henley. A proud Welshman to the end, Derek touched so many with his love of all people and his happy, friendly character. He will be very deeply missed. In accordance with Derek's wishes a private family service has been held.
