Darrell was 8 years older than me, but I remember when he was a teenager and looked a lot like Fabian. His sister, Mary Jo, and I enjoyed our times together at Grandma and Grandpa Burris´s farm. I also remember Darrell riding with a group of guys riding from Lewisburg to Dayton to go to work at NCR. He and his Mom, Aunt Marcella, were big Cincinnati Reds fans.

Thank you to Kim and all of Darrell´s friends for your continued friendship and support. I know my Aunt Marcella would have been comforted by knowing Darrell was taken care of. May he rest in peace. May God Bless, Colleen Burris Wells
