El Dorado Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Darrel and Jen go back a long way in my life. I knew Darrel before he met Jen and was with them a bunch when they first hooked up... loved them both. It is always a sad day when the mining community loses an Icon.

Hoser John Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Said my goodbys to Darrell in July at the store. It was murder seing him lying there on that gurney so ruined he couldn't even raise his head. 26 years a knowing ol' Darrel and it wasn't enough. Sooo off to that glory hole in the sky and we are greatly diminished by his passing-John Oates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
