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.
