I remember our childhood days of hopscotch, the pussey willow bushes, driving all over the neighbourhood on our bikes, picking strawberries, and listening to Bill Cosby Records hiding under the quilt. Your family lived at 56 Partridge Crescent, and we were at 51. I used to call over to phone number 3952 from 3232. I remember your dad and as a caring and a very nice man. He made a great pool in your back yard. I am so sorry he has passed. Thinking of you all. ❤ - Posted by: Carolyn Halcrow (Friend ) on: Jan 21, 2017

Hey Mom, I am so sorry that we lost Dad. I will be forever grateful that you and I were directly by his side when he passed away peacefully. He waited until we were both sound asleep so he could let the angels take him away from us. He will forever be in our hearts and we will cherish the memories that we had together. He was an awesome Father to me and my wife Jennifer as well as an awesome Grandfather to our children Nevaeh and Dexter. He will be deeply missed by us all as we loved him so very much. - Posted by: James Macumber (Son) on: Jan 21, 2017

Roberta, James and family, we were so sorry to hear of Darrell's illness and then passing. We want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. We could not have asked better neighbors and friends. Darrell was the only person to win over our beloved Kodiak. It still makes us laugh when we think of how much he spoiled her. Darrell was so quick to lend a helping hand. He was a great man and will be sadly missed. Rest Peacefully Darrell. - Posted by: Doug and Cindy Whalen (Friends) on: Jan 21, 2017
