Royden G. Derrick, J's Grandfather, and our 3 daughters Great Grandfather, Pappy, passed away last Monday, at the age of 94.
There is a wonderful tribute to him in yesterdays newspaper. Here is the link:

(If anyone takes the Tribune or Deseret News, we would love copies of the obituary.)
We will remember Pappy for his wise advice and observant nature. He always had a twinkle in his eye. J is named after his dad, and his grandfather. J is lucky enough to have Royden as his middle name, after his grandfather. A great legacy to live up to.
This is a picture of Pappy and Mommy Allo at their Birthday party in 2005. Pappy turned 90 that year and Mommy Allo turned 88. They share the same Birthday, September 7, just 2 years apart. We love you Pappy and will miss you greatly!
