Lit by Craig Holmes 19th July 2023
To Uncle Derek, I loved all my moments with you. Whether that be at your home, Glencarse or at Leuchars Airbase where you put me in the cockpit. Your humour was infectious and your love of your green merc was a great hobby for you. I tolerated your feedback when I cut your your grass with your electric mower (who has an electric mower??) but knew your nature was to stir me….I really loved being around you! Being an Aussie, I didn’t understand why you put lime concentrate in your Stella beer’s…. But you converted me. Rest in peace mate… lost but never forgotten. I will see you one day and I better have a Stella and lime waiting for me. Say G’day to Nan And Pop Pop for me. Mum will be there with a Scotch and tell my dad that us Aussies are going to win the Ashes. Love you mate. Craig, Lisa, Chelsea, Chloe and Cooper.
