What a great loss in our lives. Such a wonderful person. Great friend! Always making everyone laugh. From wearing a wig to crazy hats he was quite the jokester. Every time he saw me he told me I was missing hubcaps or my fender from my vehicle or his ladder went threw my window. Thanks for all the laughs and good times spent with you!!! You will never be forgotten. I am sure everyone up there is laughing right now since you have arrived. Love, Debbie O.
P.S. Throw my hubcaps back down here!!

Darrel will be missed. From is pink fingernails, crazy side bets and trips to church. I know this is how Darrel would like Rick Miller and I to remember him.
