We met Darrin fifteen years ago when he started helping us with our cabin. He took good care of us and our cabin. And most importantly he became a good friend. We always looked forward to visiting with him and hearing all of his stories. He was an amazing man.

We first met Darrin in 2009 when he agreed to take care of our property for us. He was an amazing man who could do anything and everything. We always enjoyed visits with him and hearing all the area news. His son Jackson was the light of his life. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

We are fairly new to the area
and community & met Darrin through my employer as I am a manager of a local farm on Mt.Ascutney. Darrin was always a very pleasant & professional gentleman, as a firefighter and electrician by trade that always kept our electrical infrastructure in top order at the farm, and always greeting us with a smile from Start to Finish!
We will miss you Sir !!
Sincerely, A&K Cummings
