I loved Darwin’s deep voice, his smile and the fact that he was a tall man. He carried himself with pride and genuinely loved people.

Kathy, I am so sorry to hear about Darwin. It’s been a long time and I think of you both often. You guys were a very important part of my life. Sorry I haven’t seen you over the years but my life’s been hectic.
You guys taught me a lot. I’m glad he still coached, he was a good one
He will be missed and he was a heck of a guy and although I haven’t seen him in a while part of me is with him. Playing softball. He’s loved as are you
