Our Prayers reach out to Darrell's family during this trying time of grief. GOD will give you the strength to continue each day. I have known Darrell and Gene since Johnson Supply Co days. He was a very good friend to have, and he will be missed a lot. He waited on me at the garden center a lot of times and always had something cheerful to say to everyone. REST IN PEACE.

We thought the world of Darrell. He and Jerry used to tell jokes to each other. They always had a good time. Jerry would be in the store very often and tell Darrell he was off work but he had a "Honey Do List" to do. Darrell would ask what that was and Jerry would say he had to do laundry,run vacuum cleaner ,washer and dryer go to grocery store and clean everything. Darrell would just laugh. That did not happen. Then I would go to the store and Darrell would say not to work Jerry so hard on his day off. He gave me a lot of concrete nails to hany my milk posters in the sschool cafeteria line at Mtn. View. I want ever forget this, I tried to pay for them and he would say it is for the school. He was a truly good friend and Jerry and I will sorely miss him. God Bless All of You.Our prayers are with you all. He will be missed. Sincerely, Jerry and Felicia Alley
