Derek Guthrun was a dearly loved husband, father, grandfather and friend and has been sadly missed by everybody who ever knew him. However, he lived a full life and raised his family to love and appreciate everything and everybody around them. He cherished his family and I remember the day, several years ago, when he told me that he was a very lucky man to have such a close family, and also that he was glad to have been around to see all of his grandchildren growing up. He added that it was a pleasure that was only granted to a very lucky man, I've never forgotten those words and I hope that I will be as well blessed as he was. He passed away with his wife, all of his daughters and his son around him. He certainly was lucky, but fate knew better than to let Derek die alone without bidding farewell to his family. He was a proud man with decent principles and high morals, I was privileged enough to marry one of his daughters in 1984. I miss him immensely but am proud to have called him 'dad' whilst he was here. Wilfred, was known as Derek by all who knew him, and he always will be.
