Rest in Peace Uncle Darrell. I only wish we had been closer, but it always good to see you at family events. I remember you showing me pictures from your many road trips and playing pool with you at the Hall's house as a kid.

So sorry to hear of Darrell's passing. He was a big part of the childhood of my husband, Rodney Collett, as Darrell was special to Rod's mother, Mabel. I'm sure the best parts of Rod's character today were shaped by Darrell's influence. Please accept our condolences on your loss.
