Christmas was not the same without you, Dad. Kerry gave out lottery tickets in your honor. I won a dollar! I miss you everyday!

I know Darrell because his sister, Claudia, has been a special, close friend for almost 50 years. Throughout these years, it was always so much fun to join a family gathering and see Darrell along with Deane. Darrell gave so much to others around him; he had a sense of gentleness and kindness about him. Most people will always remember his laughter and how he enjoyed fun times.
In particular, I remember one New Year's Eve Party at Selva Marina Country Club. I joined Claudia, David...

Will always miss you my special older brother, we had great fun together in younger years and into the older ones too. love you, the #1 sister Una

I will never forget running into Darrell in the Pic N Save with my mother. This would have been the early 70's. I walked up to him and said, "Can I call you Darrell?" He said, "Well, it's okay with my, but you will have to make sure that it is okay with your mother". Then, my mom said, "Robin, why don't you want to call him Mr. Brown?" To which I replied, "He looks too young to be a 'Mr. Brown'". He laughed and laughed and laughed with that infectious laugh of his... from that day on...

My Uncle Darrell will always have the most infectious laughter I have ever known. Being around him always made me a happier person. We should all inspire to affect others in the same way. Love you Uncle Darrell!!

Dear Melissa and family,
The celebration of your dear daddy's life yesterday was beautiful. Though is was a sad occasion, it was joyous and wonderful to see so many friends who loved him. Like everyone said, he's looking down from heaven with his infectious laugh and saying, "job, well done." He would have loved every minute of the tribute. I'm so thankful I was part of it.
Love,
Martha

I've been forever grateful to Darrell for embracing my family when Dana and Leo were married. He was a true patriot, proud of his military service and heritage.He would mesmerize us with his tales of Mayport history and then serve a bowl of his world famous Minorcan chowder. Christmas eve will never be the same for me.

I knew Uncle Darrell through his niece, Jan Orr Grover. I can remember how lovingly she always spoke of him and what a comedian he was and always happy. I know he will be missed by all..my sincere condolences go out to all of Uncle Darrell's family and friends...he will always be in your heart...
