Rest in perfect peace Boss. I am deeply, deeply in pain. I will miss you so much. I remember how you disliked it when I called you Sir. You simply wanted to be called Derrick. You were a good Boss, humble and unassuming. The great baritone-voiced Kirk Anthony of Choice FM, UK ! Oh God ! Noooooooo ! Boss, I am crying so much, my vision is blurr, and typing is difficult. I will miss you Derrick ! You were generous. You always preferred your KFC's original Chicken to the Crispy. You just loved it ! I love it too, and that was one of the many things we had in common - our love for Radio and KFC's Original Chicken. Oh Derrick, good night, good bye, sleep well my Good Boss.

Linda if we cannot learn from this untimely deaths what is the point of blogging. i comment about chicken, chips and cholestrol in an earlier post, u forgot to approve it. Linda if we are crying we suppose dey see. RIP Derrick. wish u are still here.
i listen to Smooth FM religiously in the morning. Mazino and the lady, bickering at each other as always.never listened to Kirk. But heard of his death over reviews of his audios and i feel sad that the station lost one smooth staff.
Dear Kirk,
I don't know you but you have so many people writing nice things about you - including your subordinates. Some living bosses don't have a smile to their name from even current subordinates. You must have been a good man who preferred to have a positive impact on people. May you find eternal rest with God, and may your family find peace in knowing you will be remembered for your positive impact on even people like me who do not know you. RIP sir.
My Jamaican Nigerian Barry White,wonderful ,great,humble man with a heart of milky kindness.
you will be so so greatly missed you wonderful man.
Your death was a huge shock!my heart goes out to your mother and wife Bev.
May God grant your family the fortitude to bear this loss. i pray you find peace where ever you are.
rest in peace Derrick...rest in peace
