Darrell Brant Neal

I was very sad to see this. I served in the Navy with Darrell at Corpus Christi NAS with VT29 back in the late 60s. He and I went to AT school NATC Memphis. He was a nice no nonsense straight up guy. I really liked him. I lost track of him after I left NAS CC Texas as I was assigned to sea duty aboard an aircraft carrier bound for Vietnam. I´m glad he got to retire and enjoy that part of his life. I´ll have to go back thru my old photos and see if I have any of him. If I find some I will post them here. I know I did see one of him with the line crew on the FB VT29 page. There may be more.

Darrell was my first cousin and I regret that years and miles came between us as adults. I will always remember the family reunions in Nicholasville, KY, when we were growing up. Prayers of comfort to his family.

Darrell was a long time neighbor who shared many of his day lily plantings with me. Many, many over the fence chats. He will be missed.
