Founding member of the Kiwanis club of Waitukubuli, Derek Angol, has passed on.
Speaking to Dominica News Online, president of the club Rene Roque said that the news of his passing was a shock to the club members since Angol had been actively involved in the activities of the club.
She noted that Angol had been ill for some time and that may have been the cause of his death.
Angol will be remembered for his contributions to community service in Dominica and is a founding member of the Kiwanis club of Roseau which later led him to form the Kiwanis Club of Waitikubuli.
Angol was found dead at his home on Tuesday morning.
Angol was a quantity surveyor by profession.
WIll always remember Nottingham, Barcelona and the wilds of Derbyshire. A few of the places in the world that were touched by you and where I was able to share a small part of your life.
Cheers Del Boy, Alex.
It was fun to know you Del Boy. College would not have been the same without you. God bless.
Christian.

Sigh…. Rest in peace Mr Angol. I know youre in a much better place, one where suffering is absent. To his family… Hold on and seek God.
RIP dear…may the Lord welcome you into his Paradise…
RIP my friend, thanks for the memories at DGS
RIP Stumpy, my fun-filled schoolmate and classmate from the days at DGS and Goodwill Savannah cricket field. Stumpy (because of his wide mid-section), you are gone, but by no means, will never be forgotten.
RIP Derek
U r in a better place now….. Condolences to his family……
Isn’t wonderful that persons who encountered Mr. Angol have only good things to say of him? This suggests that how he interacted with his fellow human beings is an example to us all.
My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
My deepest sympathies to the family of Derek. Your passing came as a shock to me. It was a pleasure serving with you in the Kiwanis Club of Roseau. RIP my friend.
Condolences to the family especially Quinci and Kevin. May his soul rest in eternal peace.I pray that you find much strength and understanding in the Lord through this difficult. time.
RIP Mr Derek Angol
May his soul rest in peace. Waas a nice man
I got to know him through Netball. He had a passion for the sport. He was big on participation and discipline. A man after my own heart. RIP Mr Angol
Our beloved brother from the days when we became men in 4 B (Bully) and 5 P (Polydore) at DGS!
I was privileged to meet you again, Stompy, at St. Alphonsus and visit you at your home, after all these years. As children of the old soldiers of the Dominica Legion we talked about how to revive and transform the organization.
Your Grammar School sisters and brothers will never forget you – neither will all those who came after, whose lives you obviously so deeply touched…
My deepest sympathy to the Angol family from the Angol family on St. Croix.
R.I.P Stumpy .
Really sad to learn of Derrick Angol aka Stompy passing. He contributed a lot to the development of young people through his involvement with the Dominica Netball Association and more directly with the Jazz Netball Club, and his connections with the Kiwani’s club. He worked with heart. I am deeply saddened to learn of his death, Rest in Peace Stompy.
R.I.P. Stumpy. You have gone to a place where there is no pain or suffering. You have left behind family members, sports personnel (netball and basketball), friends and acquaintances, and of course service club members, and so many others.
OH my God see how my friend just left without even saying goodbye. RIP Dewo you will be sadly missed.
In view of his illness, his earthly life’s discomfort has passed. The good he did with the allotted time that God gave him followed him to eternity.
My sympathy to his family and all those whose life and hearts he touched. God’s consolation be with you.
Life Is But A Stopping Place
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what’s to be;
A resting place along the road
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn somethings
But never meant to stay…
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know,
For some, the journey’s quicker,
For some, the journey’s slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We’ll claim a great reward
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen!
Dominica has lost one of the greats! There are very few people I know who are as selfless and giving as he was…no request was too much! Having first met this bundle of joy and cheer at the Key Club in DGS, then Circle K of the State College, then Kiwanis Club of Waitukubuli (wow Stompy! You really pulled me through the progression in the Kiwanis family lol) I can attest to his generousity. I pray that God continues to watch over your family and friends and they are comforted at least in knowing that your suffering on earth is no more.
Rest in peace Stompy!…you`ll always be “Charlie” to the “angels”
It’s a sad day to learn of your passing. He was a great mentor and he possessed a heart of gold. He gave his time expecting nothing back and the PSS key Club is surely going to miss your presence in September. You will always be in our hearts.
You were always such a pleasant man… may your family find strength in the arms of the Father.
Mr. Angol, I don’t know if I’m still in shock but I still can’t believe you have gone. I will miss your smile, and all those jokes you would crack in dialysis. Although you were ill, you always managed to smile. That, I will never forget. Plus the cheetoes. everywhere I see cheetoes I remember you. R.I.P.
RIP Derek…I was shocked when I heard the news item.
My heart just sunk! RIP Stompy. A true community leader, mentor and all round great guy!
True that;RIP stompy,will remember you for the floaters on the savanah in our young days.
My heart is breaking. RIP, Derek! You were a father figure to me. You taught me about voluntarism and selfless service. You made me laugh. We always had fun. I will miss you so much. I am so glad that my son got to meet his grandpa earlier this year. Tears keep flowing…:( Hang in there Kevin and Quincy.
Great guy who always wore a pleasant smile and was always willing to go the xtra mile. Condolences to his family
Stumps, Even though I knew you were not so well the news of your passing still came as a shock to me. Condolences to your family. I will always remember the quality time we spent growing up, attending the DGS and supporting our respective English football Teams, You Man U and me Liverpool. Thanks for being there for me on so many occasions. You will be dearly missed ….RIP Partner
A true gentleman. may his soul rest in peace.
R.i.P BROTHER STUMPY…OLD DGS BUDDY AND NEIGHBOR…
Condolences to his family and friends and may his soul RIP.

The man with the biggest heart,nothing was never too much to give, though the favor was rarely returned. Your father used you well to create a positive environment for youth development and empowerment(Key Club,Circle K Club) so I know your blessings await.
