My son and I had the seats at the Bomber game just behind Daryl. He was such a pleasant young man and always had a smile for us when we got to our seats. Thoughts and prayers are with Daryl and his friends and family - Posted by: Linda Schram (Blue Bomber fan) on: Apr 28, 2018

I was very sorry to hear of Daryl's passing. I got to know him and his father Bob through Heights archery range where we encountered many a pleasant session together. I will miss his comical criticisms of my so-called prowess at the range. My wife and I would like to pass on our deepest condolences to Bob and his wife and their families. He will be missed but never forgotten. - Posted by: Raymond Dumontet (Friend through archery) on: Mar 30, 2018

We're sorry to hear of Daryl's passing. Our condolences to his family. We will remember Daryl as an avid bowler (200 was a bad game!) and his friendship will be missed on Wednesday night bowling (Sundown League). - Posted by: St. James League Sundown League Mixed (Bowlers) on: Mar 14, 2018

I got to know Daryl through working at Perimeter and always looked forward to seeing him and talking to him (usually just very short and it was to share the odd joke or two) when we had the chance as we both went about what we had to do. I looked forward seeing him and when we changed buildings we missed his joyful smile. I feel he was a good young man, a true joy to know and be able in a limited way to call a friend. He is truly one of those people that I can say God took him home way to soon. - Posted by: George Adair (friend) on: Mar 12, 2018

I met Daryl in the hospital and at his home during the last month of his life. I encountered a kind and gentle soul who spoke of family & friends as the greatest blessing in his life. Daryl was a man who knew how to love those around him as he was first loved by God. - Posted by: Paul Walker (Pastor) on: Mar 12, 2018

Darryl was a wonderful soul. He was cheerful and smiled and said "hello" or "hi" when you passed. He was one of the nicest, sweetest people I ever met. He was a good person who left us too soon. - Posted by: Merry-Sue Adair-Gill (past co-worker Perimeter Aviation) on: Mar 11, 2018

Daryl was always so welcoming and friendly every time I came to visit him at Perimeter Air. After I had moved on Daryl still kept in touch with me. He loved to talk to me about the Bombers. He was a wonderful person who always put a smile on others faces. He touched more lives with his kindness then he could’ve ever imagined. He will be truly missed. God has another angel by his side. - Posted by: Lisa Ward (Past employee of Premier Personnel) on: Mar 10, 2018

We will miss seeing Darryl around. Waving through the front window or coming over for a chat while out in the yard. Loved hearing about his newest adventures that he had gone on. Our thoughts are with you, Bob and Bunny and family, through this difficult time. - Posted by: Caitlin and Colin (Neighbors ) on: Mar 10, 2018
