Lonnie and Donna - Darryl and I were in the same class in grade school. He was such a nice guy. In later years, my brothers worked with him at BDC. They said he hadn't changed. He was still the nicest guy. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May he rest in peace and suffer no more.

Lonnie, I am so sorry to hear of Darryl's passing. I have fond memories of going to Card's games with the two of you or with the tickets Darryl gave my husband, Dennis. Dennis always spoke fondly of him and maybe they will meet up again to talk about those days.
