Darrell was a great guy. We played many sports together beginning at Sanborn Elementary. Our brothers were the same age and as a result shared a lot of common things growing up. May God give you peace and health, Bobby.

We lost a friend. He was a good man and he leaves behind a legacy of love and compassion.
Rest In Peace Dear Friend.
I have not seen Darrell since our ’65 graduation. Like so many, when we graduate we move on in life and often times lose touch. Darrell and I were friends in high school – sharing a few classes together. I am saddened by this news.
Darrell was more than a friend to us he was family.Hard working and the first to volunteer for any task. He was a great man and loyal friend. He will be missed.
Praying for peace and comfort for you and your family.
When I think of Darrell the word “loyal” comes to mind. Darrell may be the most loyal person I’ve ever known. Loyal husband, father, grandparent, friend, American, employee and more. Darrell was so much more than that but I can’t get loyal out of my mind.
Darrell made me laugh. I loved his chuckle. I loved Darrell! When Darrell was in the hospital a couple of weeks ago I asked him what he would do for my wife. He said, “Norman I’d do anything I could”. I already knew that. Judy, guess what I would do for you.
As good a friend as anyone could ever ask. He proved it to me over a 70 year period. I miss him already.
