Daryl retired from Stokley/Chaquita canning factory as an industrial mechanic after many years of service. He enjoyed singing, hunting, fishing, playing cards and cribbage, long Sunday drives to look at the crops, anything outdoors and especially spending time at the cottage. Daryl loved attending and watching his grandkids activities and sporting events. You could be certain to hear a duck call or the tease of getting tossed into the lake when Grandpa was near.
