I am sorry to hear of Darrel’s passing. Remember he will live forever in your memories and in your heart. I remember Darrel with his fishing pole and pail either going or coming from the water in New Smyrna. He was a friendly, gentle man. With heartfelt sympathy.

Sharon, so sorry for your loss. Darrel was a good man. May it help to know that thoughts and sincere sympathy are with you at this time.
We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Darrel, I was always impressed that he still split his firewood by hand, and had a nice big garden even into his 80’s, He was a good man, always had good things to say and provided sound advice, Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Both of us want you all to know how much Darrel has meant to us over the years: His kindness when tragedy hit, his silliness and laughter when he was being a prankster to his down to earth persona and love of life. He was so humble and heartfelt whenever he was around us. What a Class Act Darrel was….forever in our hearts.
Love,
Dennis and Mary
So loss for your loss, Sharon. Our sympathy to you.
We love you all so much. We wish we could be there to celebrate Darrel’s life on Sunday with you. We are so very thankful that we had a chance to visit in June to laugh, talk, reminisce and give hugs. He was much loved and respected and we count you all as family.
Love Steve & Tammy
