“LIke I suppose everyone else, I was completely stunned to find out about the loss of my friend. Darryl was a truly GOOD man, and I am so pleased that I had the opportunity to know him. He kept his sanity after working all those years at Proviso West, and that is saying something! I was so happy when he put together the teacher band, and we made a lot of great music together. Darryl was a wonderful man of God, and will greatly missed by all of us.”
