I breathe deeply as I write this. Tears well behind my eyes. We met playing side kicks Nicely Nicely Johnson and Benny Southstreet. In 'Guys and Dolls'. Where my wife, Stella, and I also met. We have been friends ever since. Derin sang at our wedding and, yes, our daughter was conceived at Derin's first Wedding celebration. He loved that fact!
He was too good at Yahtzee though...five in a row. What a high roller! Derin, you will always be in our hearts.
