He was a great mentor and friend to Anne Muecke and I when we were just getting our company off the ground. The Natural History of Nova Scotia was an inspired initiative thanks to Derek’s vision and tenacity. And we loved his insights, his kindness and his sense of humour. With very best wishes to you at this sad time. "
