What an awesome, talented and caring man. Also an incredible and patient instructor. His big smile is what I will see when I think of him and all he’s done for the community in his varying roles in public service. His family especially, but also friends are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m sure his passing is still surreal but one day we will all be reunited and able to see him again. My love to those in need of comfort....

I worked for Corning ambulance 20 yrs ago as a medic right out of school. Daryl was a supervisor and a great mentor. He taught me many tricks of the trade and always was a great partner. He was always happy and laughing, making everyone else smile. Thanks for all your service and kindness Daryl...God speed and God bless your family. We will take it from here.
