Not sure what to say?

I worked for the Judge. He was friendly, a gentleman, and a scholar. He made WVU's campus more historical with his successful work in having the mast of the armored cruiser USS West Virginia located near the Mountainlair.

Very sad that my cousin has gone to his glory! So many wonderful memories, growing up with Darrell V, Warren, other cousins and siblings!

Dearest Jorea and Family, Our Attorney General Darrell McGraw was one of the kindest souls that I have ever had the honor and privilege of knowing. Darrell and Jorea and family have always been so very very special to me and my family! You will be sorely missed and what a loss to all the many people that loved him. You were like my second family and Darrell was truly an Icon in our state of West Virginia. May his memory be eternal and may Jorea and the whole family, find comfort and peace...

He was a good man who contributed to our community. Jorea, condolences and my sincere sympathy.

I apologize for my former comment. I mistook him for his brother, and I misspoke. My condolences to the family.

Praying for peace and comfort for all family and friends. I worked for Judge McGraw for 15 years. He was a wonderful boss. He was always available and willing to listen. He cared about his constituents as if they were family. Fly high on that mountain.

I went to Morris Harvey College at the same time he did. I see he doesn't mention that.

Darrell, you will be missed because you were a man to cared for the citizens of West Virginia. You clearly let the people know where you stood on public issues, which clearly declared something about your nature and character to stand with the common folks. Rarely, has a man been so fitted to public service as you were.

Sending condolences from my mom, Eva Knapp and myself on this loss for his family and for our beloved WV.
