I met Daryl when we were both about 23 years old, through a mutual acquaintance.
I then rented an old home through him on the back part of the Wikiup ranch. I remember Daryl's mother, who invited me to have dinner with the Anderson family, and I remember meeting Daryl's future wife, Tania. We were all so young back then. It was good to know Daryl the short time I did.

My sincere condolences to Tanya, Matt, Val and the Anderson family on your loss of Daryl. He was a wonderful individual. As a fellow Real Estate Broker, I had the good fortune to work with him on projects, share office space with him, and enjoy his friendship for over the last 20 plus years. I will always have great memories of him.
