Tio Darwin,
You will be truly missed. I will miss all the tutoring sessions over the years for my kids and talking about the "old" times. You remind me of my father talking to you. Rest In Peace. Love your niece, Nini and family

Uncle D was an amazing person with an amazing mind. He was truly one of the most brilliant people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and would always take time in the evenings to help tutor. He played a major part in my educational development and I will always be grateful to him for that. The world lost one of its kindest and most brilliant minds.

My uncle was one of the kindest persons I know and he had a great sense of humor. He was very patient,too. When Frances and I were young we had horses. The only thing in the world we wanted to do was go to the stables. One summer my uncle was at Abuela's house. It dawned on us to ask him to take to the horses. The stables were on Anderson road so it was a pretty good distance. He made a deal with us that he'd take us every other day. The days he was going to take us we were at the back door ready to go. I know it must have not been fun for him,but he always kept his promise. I am going to miss him so much. Rest In Peace Uncle D.
