Family was of the utmost importance to Darrel. He frequently could be found on the sidelines or in the audience at his grandchildren’s sporting events and concerts. He loved enjoying the outdoors, especially fishing. Many a grandchild learned to bait a hook and cast a line under his tutelage.
Darrel loved being a part of the community – socializing and contributing wherever he could. He was a frequent supporter of McDonalds.
