Deepest sympathy, to all Darryl's family. I always felt so good being around Darryl. his kindness, and helping ways, put every one at ease. it was such a pleasure to know him. I asked Darryl to help Arrange my Dad's military funeral. He went above and beyond, and helped make it a beautiful tribute to my Dad. He alwayslooked so handsome, dressed well, and had the best hair! I know He will be missed so very much, by all who knew him. So God bless all his family, and God has a good helper in heaven with him now, and heaven is a better place! love, and prayers, Marlene Shusta

I was so saddened to learn of my cousin Darryl's death. He was the nicest person and was always there to help. Darryl and I had met many times through the years and i never had a disagreement with him. It was a great, lifelong relatioinship. He was always available with help, advice and encouragment. I will always keep his fond memories in mind. Regrets to all. Len Casterline
