Mrs. Watkins and the entire family you have my prayers and deepest sympathy. Darryl was the very definition of a good neighbor. He was one of the kindest and most helpful individuals I have ever met. If it even looked like a neighbor needed some help he was right there for you. I greatly appreciated him down through the years. Rest well my neigborhood friend!
