Martha & Family,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Darrel.
It's been at least 30 years since I last saw him but remembered what a hard worker he was and always took care of his family. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
I was "pleasantly" surprised to see you at St.Agnes a few months ago.
Sincerely,
Nancy Duclos Muckala

So sorry to hear of your loss. Take comfort that you've had each other these many years. I trained in under Darrell and had the privilege of working beside him for over 30 years. A truly kind and compassionate soul. And a lot of fun to be around. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Praska Family;
We do not know one another, but Darrel and his entire family have been in our prayers. My sister-in-law and I were at the scene at the time of the accident. It was I who placed the call to 911, and my sister-in-law who provided a statement to the police.
We wish we could have done more. We want you to know Darrel, his wife, children and other surviving family members have not left our thoughts and our prayers since Saturday.
We wish to extend love and strength to you while you begin to grieve such a tremendous loss.

I would add, a very GENTLE man. I had the privilege of helping Darrel for many years with his insurance. When he came into my office it was a special day, his conversations were always upbeat. I found him to be eternally optimistic and as hard a working man as I had ever known. I know he loved his family by how hard he worked. I know he will be welcomed into his eternal reward by his loving God
