Dear Family,
We are so sad for you all at this time.
Darrell was such a good Dad and Grandad to you all, and such a good friend to us.
He will certainly be missed.
Kind regards, Gilli (Shirley)and John Killick.

DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO ALL OF THE FAMILY. A GREAT COUSIN. SO MANY LAUGHS AND STORIES RELATING TO THE TIME WE HAD LIVING AS NEAR NEIGHBOURS. I WISH I COULD REMEMBER THEM ALL. SOME ARE HAIR RAISING RELATING TO TRICKY SITUATIONS, MY DAD DAVE, GOT INTO WITH THE TRACTOR HE BOUGHT FROM UNCLE HARRY KNIGHT WHEN DAD MADE THE TRANSITION FROM DRAUGHT HORSES!!! DARRELL TO THE RESCUE.
THE LAST OF THE TAURAUGARURU TAMIHANA BOYS. UNCLE TOM WOULD HAVE BEEN SO PROUD OF ALL OF HIS SONS.
