I am saddened to hear of Darrell's passing. We were very close at one point when i had my bed and breakfast in Vermont and he was in North Conway, New Hampshire. I also sat his B&B in Glendale when he and Brian went on vacation........I have very fond memories of his kindness. He was a gentleman. Rest in peace my friend.
