Elva, Was so sorry to hear of Darell"s passing. Will keep you in my prayers.

Evalyne, I think of you often and especially the good food and conversation around your dining room table. You are in my heart, thoughts, and prayers during this most difficult time.
Darell, travel well into your new adventure. See you on the other side, my friend.

My Dearest Aunt Evelyn,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss. Darell was one of favorite cousins! I will miss him terribly! I'm sorry I couldn't make the funeral, but know I am praying for you!

All of my love,

Dearest Evalyn... I am so very sorry to hear about Darell. He was so kind-hearted and such a free spirit. Even though I didn't know him that well, I knew he was a very special person. My deepest condolences... my prayers are with you.

Evalyne and Elva, my heartfelt sympathy for your loss of this very, special man, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Darell, thank you for the lasting memories, you enriched my life.

Dear Evalyn : I am so sorry grief
has hit you again. We shared so
many nice trips over the years and'you were always thinking of' Ross, and your "boys" and family. Please know I am thinking of you and am sorry I will not be able to be there tomorrow as I will be out
of town. Take care of yourself Marjorie

I knew Gary and Darell many years ago, and have many great memories. You were two of the best.

Darell was like Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn and Dick Clark all rolled up in one character. He was the Ringmaster of the circus. He had a magnetic personality that attracted people from all walks of life.
His lifelong quest for learning was evident if you ever watch Jeopardy with him. He probably could have been a grand champion but that just wasn't his style.
He had his own style and like Frank, did it his way.
He has moved on and we are richer in the experience of knowing him.

Thank you for giving me a wonderful childhood.

Please know that our thoughts & prayers are with your family at this time. Hey Darell & Gary, want a frosty, or am I taking your keys!? God speed, our friend! Say hey to all the old gang for us!

GOOD BYE OLD FRIEND

Darell, we miss you already and we know that void will just widen with time. No matter what the topic was we always had great discussions...your knowledge was immense.
Goodbye dear friend,

To the Onsted family, I knew Darrel for many years, although I have been away for so many and not seen him in years, I'll always have fond memories of him. I leave you with this thought by Walt Whitman "All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses. And to die is differant from what anyone supposed, and luckier" See Ya in my thoughts Darrel,and rest well my friend. Scurvy Dan
