worked with Derek for the last 6 years. Derek was always polite, generous, and such a nice guy to be around. His musical talent was undisputed with a legacy of credits to his name, but Derek never shouted this out , he was very humble and always respected other people in the process. The world needs more Derek Cronin’s , and now , sadly, there is one less. Derek has left a lasting impression on me on how to live life, and love the people around me
