Generous, gentle, kind, loving, caring. Always greeting you with that contagious smile. Darryl was a true gentleman, husband, father and friend. A car buff and racing enthusiast.

Your friendship has left me with many fond and wonderful memories. Yourself, Glenn, Lena and I , Watching our children grow, hanging out at the garage, trying to teach them the importance of friendship and family. We had many great times, too numerous to mention.

My sympathy to you Lena and your family. I gotta tell you I think Rich scheduled his appointment at Everharts according to Lucky being there, Rich enjoyed talking to him from one vet to another, all the when, where and how about Vietnam. (including Agent Orange) Rich being Navy and Lucky being Army that had to be analyzed in depth. Rich always enjoyed seeing ya all at car shows and played your requests. Lucky was an amazing person and so easy to have conversation about everything and anything, what a good man !!!!

Hard to believe that this man is gone but never forgotten. Always had a bunch of laughs with him and Lena when we went to car shows...he was one of a kind. And a handier man you could never find, he could do anything. He will be greatly missed by us....rest in peace Darryl.

Lucky was an amazing man I got the pleasure to meet hunting in PA. I spent 3 deer seasons getting to know him, and you would have never guessed he was in his 70's. We spent countless hours laughing and telling stories. Lucky was one of a kind and will be missed by all that knew him. My sympathy goes to all family and friends
