Not sure what to say?

Lynn, Elizabeth , Blaine , Marjorie , and of course my best friend growing up Matthew. I also have a flood of memories of growing up with the Burnette's . Darrell and Colene were more than just neighbors . Matt I think about that fishing trip to the Colorado river with your dad all the time. what a great father he was . You are all in my thoughts.

There is so much to say, I couldn't of picked a better family to have been raised next to, if the choice were mine. You all take care, Rex Lesicka

My apologies for my typo. It should have been; I worked with Darrell since 1966 until he retired.

I worked with Darrell since 1995 until he retired. He was one of the hardest working men I knew. He was a mentor to all fellow workers and especially me. I still remember him bringing his tomatoes to work, or at Christmas Colleens candies. A kind and considerate man. Spoke with him a number of times in the last few years and he was still gardening, talking about wildlife and his life in Minersville. I was fortunate to have known him and will miss our telephone conversations together.
