Comments I wish I could say the right words to comfort and let you know that you are never alone in mourning. I live very close to Darrell here in Belgium, I called him Big Guy " and he called me "damned little American".I searched him out in 2000 because they told me here that there was another American in the area. Since then we never passed up a chance to conspire as 2 against the masses. I not only miss him as a dear friend, I miss him as my fellow countryman, now I stand alone. He is always fondly remembered at Peken and we will keep his memory alive.

" Mertens An - November 21, 2011 at 04:54 PM Dear Elmore Family, " I always thought I would see Darryl again someday, somewhere and I am saddened that it will not happen anytime soon. He lives on in my memory and that of my family. My Mom passed away nearly one year ago. She painted a Jethro Tull image from the album cover Aqualung, on a denim shirt for Darryl. Darryl loved her forever for doing that painting. It is a special memory in the Singco family as well as Darryl always being a special person in our lives. I will miss him forever and pray for peace to all your family. Sincerely, Judy Singco Donahue Judy Singco - November 21, 2011 at 04:54 PM My deepest sympathy to all of Darrells family and friends. Such a shock to hear about. If you had the opportunity to have Darrell as a friend, then you knew him to be " the loyalest of friends. Always there, ALWAYS when you needed him. God Speed Crazy D.
