I met Darrell working at Usps. Darrell was like family to me. Like a uncle. He help me mentally through troubling times. Always made me laugh. Always gave me positive advice and encouraged me. We both had love for sound systems and talk about getting the newest ones. He was a great guy. He will be missed.
