Darryl, I never knew what a beautiful person you were till I met you. I will cherish the memories forever - especially the Rick cruise November 2011. I was so blessed to be able to see ZOOT perform, and you all stepped back in time and were boys again. Thankyou for the music, thankyou for being you. My deepest sympathy to the Cotton family, close friends and fans. We have lost a star on earth but a new star has risen elsewhere.

Our love, support and prayers go out to Darryl's family and friends. What a beautiful man he was; so humble and caring. He will be so sadly missed. We will miss his beautiful smile, happy nature and his wonderful music and showmanship. He made our world much happier when we saw him on stage. His presence was magic. Maree and I will never forget the day "we danced in the rain at the workers", whilst watching the guys doing their gig in 38 degree temperature. We are a group of loyal followers. Rest in Peace Darryl. Linda, Anthony, Maree and Adrian.
