My prayers go out to your family that has been left an unhappy void but will meet again in the eternal life someday.

My deepest sympathies to your entire family. I had the honor to meet Daryl last September. Although, I feel like I’ve know him for a long time from my brother- Mike Bartak. He will be missed by so many in the AA community of Racine and will leave a void in my brother’s life. May the truly remarkable man Daryl was give you some peace and strength over the coming months. May the Lord wrap you in his arms and comfort your family.

Dear uncle Daryl,
I never got much time to spend with you, since I live in California . Every time I did get to see you, I realized what remarkable person you were. You and aunt Diana created a beautiful fulfilling life together. Your two wonderful sons who turned out to be honest hardworking and loyal husbands and fathers. Having had a spiritual life together made a bond between you two that most people only dream of. You will be missed by so many because of your giving to others. God bless you.
Todd Anderson says
You radiated warmth and kindness in that wonderful smile.
Ty Daryl,so much.
