My condolences to all family members of Darrel. It saddens me to hear of the passing of Darrell. He was kind man who always had a nice thing to say to you. May all the wonderful memories you have of him get you through the rough days ahead. I am sure Darrell is happy to be reunited with Shawn. Shawn used to work for me at Kum & Go, so I knew the family well. Shawn was such a fun kid to me around. He always made me laugh, just like Darrell always made me smile with his kindness. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you.

My condolences to all the families and friends of Uncle Darrel. I will always cherish the memories of fishing, camping, reunions, sleep overs, not going in the basement when the tornado went through town and of course the singing.

Kim and Family, I wanted to share my deepest condolences for the loss of Uncle Darrel. He will certainly be missed by all of us who loved him. His gentle presences was always so nice to be around. I'll miss him calling me "tooty or bubby" as he was the only one who still called me by those nicknames from when I was a kid. I feel good knowing I have another guardian angel up there watching out for all of us. Rest in Peace Uncle Darry.
