Koreen: Our deepsest condolences to you and the family. Darrell was a wonderful man. Harry & I were truly blessed to have known him. I will miss his emails immensely as they made us smile. He helped many a boy grow into men who learned sportsmanship, and fair play. He will be sadly missed.

Koreen and family, Darrell was a great friend and co-worker. I learned a lot from him and will miss him greatly. I've heard it said: "...that if you keep them in your memories, they are never really gone." I for one will keep Darrell alive in my thoughts, I'm sure he will be in yours too. May God look after you and give you strength in this time of sorrow.
