Richard Darman Obituary

DARMAN Richard John Darman, aged 65, of Sunbury, OH, passed away on September 11, 2010. He was employed by the Ohio Department of Transportation. A graduate of Knox College and the University of St, Louis, Dick honorably served in the United States Army. He was a patron of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, Ballet Met, and the Perkins Observatory. Dick was an avid traveler of Europe, a great scholar of culture, in particular Gothic Cathedrals, and a gifted gardener. He will be kept in the loving memories of his mother, Marion Darman; sister, Jane Smith; brother, Bill Darman; his two loving children, Shari Darman and Brian Darman; his wife and high school sweet heart, Candace Darman; and his step-daughter, Mariah Mazur of London, England. A family service will be held later this year. For Dick Darman, every day is a celebration of love.

I received word today via Dennis Reynolds' Knox ADE Fraternity network of Dick's untimely and sudden passing. He was my pledge father in the fraternity and I have great memories of him. I last saw him several years back at a memorial service in Indianapolis for another frat brother. I am so glad to have seen him then. Thank you for forwarding the info to Dennis.
