Dear Paul, Leslie, Janet and families,
I am sorry to hear about the passing of your father Derek. Over the last three to four decades, I have often thought of him and you guys & gals and where has life led people after the days of table tennis at D. Aubrey Moodie School in Bell's Corner's. He was a true gentleman and the epitome of of "a true English sportsman." I still remember the final circa 1978 or 1979 when finally he was bested by Evert Lindquist Jr. in the Open final. I wish you all well. Yours truly. Ron Edwards, Winnipeg.

Our thoughts go out to all Derek's family, even though the miles and ocean may separate us. Derek figures in some of my earliest memories, including his marrying my sister June, before they both set off for a new life in Canada. Derek always brought humor to any situation and that's how my wife Lesley and I remember him best. So we say a fond farewell to a great guy and celebrate his life well lived.
With heartfelt affection.
Barry and Lesley.

Hi Paul, Anne and I spoke yesterday and she told me you were asking if we wanted to give some memories of your Dad, so after thinking here are a few.
Our mum, Jessie, would always say how good looking her brother Derek was.
My earliest memory was Derek and June's wedding day, Jennifer and I were bridesmaids, Anne was still a baby, and after we went home on the bus, Dad didn.t have a car then.
When I was 21 I came to Canada and your Mum and Dad very kindly had me stay with you, as I have said before, you were 10, Leslie about 5 and Janet about 18 months. I have always been so grateful to your parents for having me stay with you all in Ottawa.
Over the years if any of us visited Canada we were always made very welcome, giving us some lovely memories of our Canadian family.
Our thoughts and love are with you all, love Patricia x

Last of the Clan
Well, here is the end of the Marsham era mark1.
Uncle Derek was the last man standing. Its now down to you Paul, and the Boys, to continue the Legacy mark2
I have vague memories of when your Mum & Dad came home to England with you and your sisters when I was about 8 years old. And with a wealth of common sense took you all back to Canada !
What a brilliant move by Uncle Derek !!
He has shown how being Bold & Brave and moving across the world has been testament to making the best for his family.
You, Paul, have proved to your mother & father that the legacy will continue……..Uncle Derek has now left us all whilst being a very proud man !
I wish I could be there and give Auntie June a hug. Although we have for one reason or another not been able to gather as a family, I still have, vague as they are, memories from way back when.
My Mum adored Uncle Derek. And her legacy lives on with young Ivy Lillian…….and for that I love you all xx
Take care my friend , cousin , advisor , pal , buddy , mate !
I will be raising a glass on Monday here in sunny England.
Love to you all
Love to Auntie June
Love to Uncle Derek
Peace x

June &family my condolences in the passing of Derek. I worked with Derek for many years at Transport Canada. My daugther Deborah remembers Derek had impecable wroiing. Every Friday Derek and I with two others would go to a restaurant for lunch.
Derek would never order french fries, but he would always loan 4-6 of mine. (quite a character)
We had many special occasions.

Our sincere condolences to the Marsham family. Clyde and I both have fond memories of Derek when we worked together at Marinav many years ago, it was a good day when Derek would come to my desk to say good morning always with a new joke and a huge smile…and then years later enjoying dinner at Lesley and Mike’s with Derek and June, and more recently we had a lovely tea with Derek before he moved from his condo. Rest In Peace Derek.

My sincere condolences to the Marsham family. I fondly remember Derek and the wonderful times involving table tennis in Ottawa over some 4 decades. He was a gentleman and a true champion.

Dear Marsham Family, I am so sorry to learn of Derek's passing, a remarkable man. You knew him as a partner, parent, and grandparent; others knew him as a businessman; but I came to admire him in the world of Ottawa table tennis. He was an accomplished competitor, who outfoxed and outlasted those he competed against for decades, and they were often much younger! He was a true sportsman and a model amateur athlete, serious about his game but always encouraging to others, especially to us 'juniors'. He had flair and a wonderful sense of humour but was self-effacing. He was a many-times-over champion in the Ottawa table tennis scene, but my sense is that he was a champion where June and family were concerned and his business career. He was a role model, who certainly shaped how I approached life. I had a wonderful opportunity to chat with Derek just a few months ago after being out of touch for many years, catching up on all sorts of news about your family, of which he was so proud. I treasure that conversation. I cannot imagine your sense of loss, but I wish you solace during these difficult times. Evert Lindquist, Victoria
