I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Darrell. He truly was one of the kindest and gentle men that I've know. He always had a sweet smile. Even though I didn't see Darrell often, he holds a special place in my heart. It was always a joy when we got to see him throughout the years. So happy he was my cousin. My thoughts and prayers are with his son and extended family. I love you all.

I remember Darrell when we were both very young boys and while he had polio he was as strong as and bull. When Darrell grabbed hold of you, you were in trouble. I haven't seen Darrell in 65 years, but back then he always seemed to have a sweet nature about him. May God be with my cousin Darrell.
