We have a request from Janet Hawall Baker to have a flag line for her father, U.S. Navy Michael Derer. Michael Joseph Derer, after many years of battling different health conditions, lost his final battle on 3/4/2022 and passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family. Born 12/29/1946 to the late Michael Derer and Eleanor (Litchner) Derer of Philadelphia, PA Michael would be the oldest of 4 children. The late Robert Derer (Martin Donahoe), Eleanor Miller (Gerald), and his best friend and youngest brother Richard Derer (Michelle). He graduated in 1964 from Father Judge High school and enlisted in the United States Navy during the Vietnam war. After his honorable discharge Michael would become a Letter Carrier for the United States Postal Service until his early retirement in 1984 due to medical challenges. On 12/8/1973, Michael married the love of his life and best friend Janet (Pankrez) Derer the daughter of the late George Pankrez and Ruby (Lambert) Pankrez and sister of William Pankrez.
