Derek Morris


08 OCTOBER 2006.

An e-mail this morning from Wendy Morris brought the sad news that her brother Derek (FGS: 1949-1956) died yesterday in hospital, having suffered a stroke one week previously. On behalf of the FGS Wrinklies website, I wish to offer our sincere condolences to Wendy, to Derek's wife Maria, and to their children and grandchildren.
I'll gladly forward any e-mail messages to Wendy.
