I had the joy of working with Darrell at Electra. He taught me the system and products. I learned quickly that Darrell was not only THE Master! But one of the best people I would ever meet. He remains in my heart and memory forever as someone special even though I only knew him more than just a few years. What a man!

Darrell and Sandy were our very special neighbors many years ago in Yorba Linda. They were our son Paul's God parents at his baptism, and took care of him in the middle of the night when we went to the hospital to deliver our second baby, Rachel. Darrell was always soft spoken, kind, and a good listener. We spent many hours sitting out on the driveway solving the world's problems together. He was a great role model as a father, and we appreciated his willingness to offer advice and help us out when we needed it. It is hard to separate Darrell and Sandy in my mind because they were a "couple" and our heart goes out to Sandy as she works through this difficult time. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm saddened to hear of Darrell's passing. My most vivid memory of him from my childhood is having to tell him I uprooted all of his strawberry plants. I had to give him all of my piggy bank money too.
Hi Cathy, remember your childhood buddy?

Dad Cottrell, I will always miss you. You were such a joy to know and you were always so kind and gracious to me. You were always like a Father to me.
To Mom, Cathy and family, I love you!

I treasure the many years of having Darrell as one of my families neighbor and friend. He was a quiet and sincere man and liked by all. He and Mas could spend a whole day or evening together and there was not much conversation between them, but they just enjoyed the friendship. Darrell will be missed by all. My condolences to Sandy and all of the family. Love you.

I am so sorry to hear of Darrell's passing. I worked with Darrell at Electra Motors for many years. His soft spoken manner & kind wit made the office refreshing. His knowledge of the product & his fine sales technique made him far above the rest! I will always think of Darrell with respect & fond memories.
