My condolences to the family. Darrell was always genuine and made an effort to say hi and have a quick chat over the years while I was growing up in Bassano. He always gave words of encouragement which spoke to his good character.
It was rare to see him without Shirley. They were an inseparable pair and he will be dearly missed.
