I enjoyed many years of Darrell's friendship. I wish his family and many friends comfort in the difficult days to come.

I know Darrell is again in the arms of the wife he always loved (your Mother). Just like my dad, we can say 'he had a pretty good run'. He was my favorite Uncle and I will never forget the times he took me and Kathy to Kiddie Land and Joyland (even tho he teased me alot back then). He was a 'rock' within our family and truly loved. He will leave a big empty spot in your lives and hearts but he leaves behind a good family and legacy. I never knew anyone that did not like your dad in a big way. Always remember, we are family...we are here for you.
