What a blessing Darrell was in the lives of countless people! His character which represented the virtues of caring kindness, of giving whatever he could give, of listening, of extending a helping hand, or opening his heart where or whenever needed. In this journey of life, one will meet few- if any as sincere and honest as my friend of 45 years..."my other brother Darrell". Rest in peace.
