Darrell was a good friend of mine - in fact with similar last names and December birthdays, we joked that we were twins separated at birth.  I still remember being stunned after learning of the horrible accident, visiting your family, and attending the funeral with Nancy Hinz.  He was so full of life, and cheated of becoming a wonderful man.  He will always be remembered, Candice.  Laurel
