I was deeply saddened to hear of Darryl's passing! I played football with Darryl in high school and at Widener. Darryl was a big part of me going to Widener. I have the fondest memories of our friendship and my family adored him. Always happy, smiling, and most generous in his love and respect for everyone he encountered. What a gentleman! I will celebrate these treasured memories until we meet again. I love you Darryl! May God bless you and comfort your family with the warmth and happiness you gave so unselfishly! Your dear friend Nick Arena.
