Darryll and I first met working together at Alumax back in the 1980s. I convinced him to go fishing with me and over many years we had some wonderful fishing trips. We caught a ton of fish and shared many laughs together out in the boat. I will always treasure his friendship. He was a great guy.

Sorry your Loss,

Darrell was the most honest and Original person I Knew. We shared so many memories. He was Preacher, I was Billy Bob and the baseball trips were so much fun and always full of laughter. I will miss him like a brother. Thank you Darrell for being my best friend and being part of my life since 1990. I have added photos of fun times with Darrell.
