I have not seen him in over 55 years since he left Adisadel. He was a popular and well-liked senior
May he rest in peace
May his soul rest in perfect peace. I’ve not seen him again since I left Adisadel in ’68 though I’m in constant touch with his younger brother Kudjo .
My condolences go to the whole family. We were neighbors in Ringway Estates in the ’60s. Rest in peace brother.
Mr. Derrick, I am looking forward to seeing at this year CEANA at your home base and to attend after CEANA party at you home for the first time. We the “Onyee Gbee” ladies will miss you dearly, the midnight room controller

A huge tree has fallen indeed! Efo Derrick Kwesi Glymin was generous and selfless with everything including advice, guidance and support. We will miss him sorely. May he RIPPP.
Such a good man, I was shocked when I heard that he passed away, my heart broke. He will be forever missed. My condolences to the entire family. May he rest peacefully.
I am sad to hear of the passing away of Derrick Glymin. As a student in Denver in the 1980s, his home was opened to me anytime I wanted to enjoy local dishes. His annual parties at home was a blast for Ghanaian and other students. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to meet him again since I left Denver in 1985 to personally express my profound gratitude for his hospitality and kindness. May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace.
