Robert, so sorry to hear about your father's passing. He was a good man who served his community with pride. I always enjoyed seeing his flashy moustache. Condolences to the family.
This is a man who served his fellowmen and left a heritage of good. We were very close to him and his wife Mearl. Was their home and visitng teachers. When Darrell raked up his leafs he ask me to cart them away for my wife garden. Each month when I went to the St Louis Missouri Temple, I would put his mane on the prayer roll of the temple.
We all dearly loved and respected Darrel. He and his Sweet Wife Mearl were always serving others. We will all MISS HIM VERY MUCH! May the Lord Bless and Comfort his Family.
Sincerely, Lee & Janet Powell
