I was out of town last week, and so I missed the service for Darrel. I just learned of his passing this morning. My condolences to the family. I worked with Darrel at Prudential/BHHS. He was such a kind and wonderful person. I always enjoyed our talks.

Mr. Doerksen was a great educational leader at Allen Elem. He cared for his staff and students. His leadership made Allen a warm and caring place for all.

Darrel was such an inspiration, year after year, at the MCC Run for Relief! He raised so much money for those in need around the world and did it with such enthusiasm for the event. It was always a joy to see his smiling face as he turned in his donations and again later as he crossed the finish line! We will always remember him!
