Uncle Darl was always so friendly and kind. I’ll always remember him dancing at the family wedding receptions keeping up with all the young ones. So many people knew and loved him.

Tonya and family, I’m so saddened by Darl’s passing. He was my dad’s best buddy, keeping him company til the day before he passed. They are surly together now, casting fishing lines in the river, telling jokes and catching up on what has happened in the past 3 years. May God give you all strength to get through these difficult times.

So very sorry to hear of Uncle Daryl’s passing. So hard to believe, I just spoke with him last week. I will miss his phone calls, our talks about mom (his sister) and his sense of humor. Uncle Daryl was so good to mom calling to see if she needed anything and visiting her, she enjoyed his company and visits. He cared deeply about his family and always tried to stay in touch with as many as possible. He was a good soul and will be greatly missed.

Daryl was always so friendly and so full of all kinds of information about something. I remember them both being at the fairgrounds selling their treasures. Even if you didn’t want anything Daryl would talk you into leaving with something. I also remember how much he loved to go to the casino especially if he got a card saying they were giving something away he would always go up to get it. Darryl was a great person. RIP. Your with your beautiful wife now.
