I am so stunned to read this news! I adored Darryl. He had such a quiet, meek spirit and a huge, kind heart. I'm so glad I ran into him in the hall and had a lovely chat, just before I left for an extended time of PTO (when he passed). I'm sad for his family and those he left behind, but I'm grateful to have known him and been a recipient of his smile and kind heart for so many years, as his colleague. Go rest high, Darryl. You fought the good fight, you finished the race and you kept the faith! I'll miss you, for sure, but I will remember your example. Lifting his family in prayer for stength, peace and comfort as you adjust to life without his physical presence. ~ Elaine Deimler, Capital Blue Cross coworker
