Dear Jeanette,
I am so sorry to hear of Darwin's passing. I enjoyed working with Darwin over the years. He was truly a fine gentleman and a great representative of Unocal and the industry as a whole. He will be sadly missed. My best to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Rich Keller

Jeanette- 50+ years ago I said to your loving husband that somebody must of misspelled his name from Saint. He said back: No, you are talking about my wife. She is the real saint. I must have called him Saint a hundred times after that to bring that glow to his face that he got everytime he thought of you.

Jeanette and famiy, i am so sorry for your loss...Darwin was the sweetest man and had such a bright spirit. He was one of my favorite patients and i will miss seeing his smiling face in our office.

Jeanette and family, our condolences from the 1979 - 1987 Unocal Santa Maria Valley Reservoir Engineers, Don Wotring, Phil Ayer, Tom McCollum, Veronica Stevenson, Bob Navo, Chuck Field, Chuck Hodkins, Valarie Lee, Gary Carlson and Pete Stokes (Unocal Shuffle Group). Darwin would be glad to know that Orcutt Hill production is back over 2,500 BOPD and that the School House and production facilities are looking better than ever. Drill baby drill..

Darwin was the epitome of a "Gentleman and a Scholar". His life was an example of a man with intellect,humility and service to his community.
He was an interesting and informative conversationalist who genuinely loved people and was respectful of their views. Above all, he was fun to be around.
God comfort Jeanette and his children in their loss of a wonerful husband and father.

Jeanette & Family, I was sorry to hear that Darwin has passed away. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I can't recall the last time I saw either you or Darwin, but I have never forgotten you from school. Your former classmate,

Jeanette,

A very kind and welcoming man indeed.

Erica and I will continue to have nothing but fond memories of the man with the welcoming smile and a heart of gold. He made a lasting impression in my life through his example - he actually walked the talk. The wonderful memories can never be taken away - enjoy them often - and as you do look up and smile - he will be smiling down on you.

Remembrance:
Darwin and you sharing time with my wife (biologists)...

Dear Jeanette and Denise,

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband and father.
Darwin Sainz was one of the most gracious, generous men I have ever had the privilege to know. While working for United Way I was fortunate to get to know him as an active, involved community advocate.
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sincerely,
Diane (Woodward) MacEntee
