Jan and Yolanda Spencer says
Our hearts are with Sara and the family during this difficult time. This man was a godly husband and father whose impact on his family is cherished. His involvement with people around him was always with a genuine heart of service and kindness. One of my (Jan’s) precious memories of Darryl is his instruction to me about how to park my car in a parking lot if I did not want any dents in my doors.

I’m sad to hear of Darrls passing. I enjoyed working with him in the Riverside, Ca IBM office. I’ll always remember when we climbed halfway up Mt. Whitney while fixing a IBM machine in Bishop, Ca.
Chris and Becky Knauer says
Sara, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Darryl.
Eric White says
I have great memories of thought provoking conversations with Darryl and Ronnie. I know Ronnie gets so much of his independence of thought from his father. The whole White is with you Sara and the Bemus family. Our heartfelt condolences.
