View all 50 ReflectionsWould see Derrick at Wilshire Station from time to time. Nice guy and very personable. Sad day in L.A. the day this newlywed lost his life. May GOD bless his wife. Ironically, I was watching an episode of the " NEWLYWED" Game that aired back in 1997, featuring Derrick and his wife, just b4 he was killed in the motor accident. Praying for the repose of his soul.
