Jimmy and I were saddened to hear of the passing of Darrel. We have known he and his family for so many years. He would in later years come to our bait and tackle shop for minnows or worms to fish with, when we had the business. Our heart goes out to all he has left behind as I know he will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace.

I send my deepest sympathies to the Riddle family, I had known Darrell ever since my entry into the Virginia Guard since I was a young 18 year old kid. He was a mentor to me to "Always do right by the Soldier" no matter what the cost or who you might make angry; and I live by that to this day. He was the example of a fine NCO and I will greatly miss him. May God Comfort your family during this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Riddle family. Darrell will be missed very much. It just doesn't seem real. Tommy, Jessie, and I will never forget the good times of visiting with Darrell and Olympia, the fishing at the pond, cook-outs, etc.. Jessie will miss her "Herbie" very much. She will always be his "Skinny Minny". Olympia, we are here for you if you need anything. Don't hesitate to call.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family during this time of tragic loss. Darrell and I worked together for many years, and his devotion to serving the military was evident in all he did for the men of his unit.
