Hello, just wondering if the Derek Rigby you are referring to had a twin brother called David? Dave was my grandad passed in 2002 and Uncle Derek passed in 2015. If you are talking about the same person please let me know?

hi Josh Rigby--Derek Rigby did not have a brother but he had a sister so i am thinking it is not the Derek Rigby you knew--sorry---Dennis Moore
