YOUR CLASSMATES OF 1962 REMEMBER YOU.
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, "There, she is gone."
"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side, and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, "There, she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming, and there are other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!" And that is dying.
- Henry van Dyke (1852 – 1933) American author, educator, and clergyman

"Someone once said that life is made up of...shortening breath, death, sod, God. That is the journey we travel, with a happy ending waiting for us after all the tough stuff."
What a quiet man Darrell was but whenever I visited him he always had a smile...
My sincere sympathy,
Betty Fetzer
It has been a long time since I last saw and talked with Darrell, and I remember him as a calm and good hearted friend. I am sorry of his passing and that I was not closer to him these past years. Bless you Darrell.
Donald Olson
My friend, we will always miss you. Never will forget the year together at Mayville State and your Plymouth. God bless your soul and our memories of you.
