Mr. Darby was a hard working man and I loved him. He was working with me at R A Ready Intermediate School in Moncks Corner. He was so helpful and cared so much for the children. If he felt a child needed extra love or anything he would come to me and we would try to find a solution. He was most certainly my right hand man. Loved God and the coumtry

Mr. Darby was a wonderful man and an inspiration to many. He was custodian at R.A Ready Interimediate and was never too tired to help out. I could never had been able to take care of the things Mr. Darby did. As I came in early ever morning he started coming in right after me because he didn't want me there by myself. I cannot put into words what this man did and was an inspiration to me. He is one of the greatest men I have known. I know his family will miss him as I will also. A blessing to human man. God bless his family and know I am here if ever I can do anything to help you.
