This.

I'd also like to have a Lounge meetup sometime down the track. That would be cool. We could toast Derek in person.

Just caught up with the news following an untimely temp-ban.

As you all know, Merek was a man whose attitude towards his situation was as inspirational as it was amazing. Such a well adjusted strong personality is indeed rare and worth celebrating whenever the opportunity arises, I just wish we could be celebrating with him in our midst rather than on his behalf.

Sitting here with a nice dram of Glenlivet 18yo in Derek's honour.

Love and best wishes to Melany and all the rest of Derek's friends and family, I trust you'll throw a great party for Derek on the 21st.

Remember reading this thread a few months ago. Heard the news on the pokercast today. God rest
