I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Darrell. I had the pleasure of meeting Darrell at the National Sales Meeting in Orlando recently. I had heard many wonderful things about him and I must say, that in the conversations we had, I could tell why so many people were touched by this man. He was so kind, and I could tell by the way he spoke that he really enjoyed what he did. My heart goes out to his loved ones, and I will pray that you can find peace in the days to come.

Pat, As Darrell's uncle it greatly saddens me to see his passing at such a young age. I remember fishing with him, John and Hank when he was little. He was always a joy to be around and will be saddly missed. My deepest sympathies go out to my brother Roman, and his wife Arena. To you and Michelle. Love Jim

Pat,
I was out of town and we just heard last night. We were shocked. It is sometimes so hard to understand God’s will.
I never thought God would need Dental coverage. So when he did he got the best.
We always enjoyed our time with you and Darrell, but you missed the time he painted the closet. Somehow when we built our house on Tia Court, Darrell got the linen closet. It was only about 18” wide, so you can imagine how funny it was. I think he needed extra beer. It was wonderful having laughs that last a lifetime.
Best wishes always,
Bill and Judy

God Bless You and your family!

Pat, it has been my pleasure to have had both you and Darrell on my marketing team while I was at the Blues in Wisconsin. Just last year I had breakfast with Darrell and could barely stop laughing about the good old days and we had wished they were back again. Darrell was a joy to be around and whenever he was in St. Louis we would try to get together. We talked about the retirement years and how he and you were going to ride off into the sunset and be together forever. We all have fantastic memories of this great man.

To the Frisque family,

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss.

I had the pleasure of working with Darrell for 6 years when I was working in Project Management at HumanaDental.

Darrell always had a smile in his voice and a positive word for his peers and co-workers.

He was always able to solve a problem for a customer no matter how difficult the problem appeared...he always found a way. His positive attitude was catching and greatly impacted those that worked with him in the new case area. I learned much from him regarding attitudes and overcoming obsticles.

I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to your family.

Darryl will be be greatly missed.

Very respectfuly,
