My condolences to Darrell’s loved ones. He was a good customer/friend for about 15 years. He always had a smile for me when he came in. Even when car troubles came and it wasn’t going his way. He loved his family ferociously especially his grandkids. He’d sit in the office sometimes for close to an hour trading pictures and talking about them with me. He will be sorely missed.
