I just heard of Senior Chief Derrick's passing on Facebook, so I thought I would share it here. I believe he was a Plankowner at then NAVFAC Whidbey Island, retired in 1989 according to the IUSSCAA Cable. I will let our CMC here at NOPFWI know so any representation can be made for the local ceremony.
Thanks for sharing the info Tim. I met Roy back in the day but didn't have the opportunity to serve with him. Nonetheless, sad to hear of his passing. May his family find peace by remembering happier times.
