Robert (Bob) Leroy Darling

I like how it says he IS not WAS awesome and yes a pillar of the community. I loved how artistic his fruits and vegetables were displayed at Albertsons. He always went above and beyond. He mentored so very many people at their first jobs, their first sporting events, their first scouting events, their first church events, supporting everyone all along the way with a positive influence. My goodness, there simply is not a better human being. He did everything to support his children, his wife,...

He Is AWESOME!!!

I just heard about Mr Daring's passing this month. He had mowed my lot for several years via his tractor business. His work on my lot was wonderful and professional. I am so sorry. My condolences and prayers to his family. --- Phil Sidle ---

Just heard of this....I went to high school with Bob. I remember how he impressed me with how he treated everyone like they were someone...I´m greatly saddened to hear of his passing. My heart and prayers go out to his family. He was truly one of a kind! God Bless Debbie Hancock (Jones)

Our deepest condolences to Bob's family and friends. We had Bob out last year to do some field tilling for us. I hovered over him like my own Dad. We just learned of his passing and are sad knowing that we won't see him ripping through our soil with his John Deere again. He will be missed. RIP, Dear Bob...

To Bob's family: Our thoughts are with you family. My husband & I went to Jr. High, and H.S. with Bob, & ( Mike) and they grew up in the same neighborhood.

Bob was a neighbor, a friend, a Babe Ruth coach and graveled my driveway with his John Deer Tractor. Always positive I enjoyed working and coaching with him. I had the pleasure of coaching sons Jeremy (wrestling) and Cory (Baseball). I wish all of the family peace and comfort. Bob made a difference . I have a picture in my office on permanent display of the Dobson's City Babe Ruth Championship team . Cory in the front row and Bob beaming proudly in his "Refuse to Lose" Mariner's t-shirt....

Went to church with the man and his family before my parents, older brother, and I moved to Centralia in Lewis County and much later on Vancouver in Clark County. When my father was a PAHS teacher, he used to work at Albertsons with Bob in the summer.
