I remember Darryl from my classes and study hall at IRHS ('64).
He was somewhat quiet except when the teacher left the room; then he would turn around and want to arm wrestle. He was strong but I won....I felt really good about that because I was not athletic......Then I realized HE HAD LET ME WIN!!!!!
I remember his quiet confidence!

Darryl was a classmate, from kindergarten throughout school. He was always a kind, rather quiet person. You were blessed, I'm sure. You have my sympathy.

Memory Eternal! It saddened me to hear that Darryll has fallen asleep in our Lord and Savior. The memories he helped to create with his classmates will always be cherished when ever two or three of us are gathered. In Christ's Love Nora Jacobs Wojciechowski

Rest in Peace Darryl, I remember riding the bus and stopping at the Kosky farm in Beechwood.
Darryl was tough minded and friendly, he was one of the good guys.
Blessed are the angels for they are one more.

Dear Cindy, Dara, Nick and all of your family,
Our love and sympathy we extend to you. We are so glad we had the opportunity to see Darryl and Nick this past summer in Beechwood. Darryl always had a special place in my heart, and Michael also enjoyed each of our visits with him.
And I am very glad our children also were able to experience Darryl's sense of humor.
A great guy is gone, but has left a lot of memories.
love Wendy and Michael Norrman
