I met Darcy when he 1st went to work for City Glass Company. He was always quiet but a wonderful help whenever I needed it. After I left that building he would still stop by and see me. Kept me in the loop of what was going on until I moved to Oregon. He always had a smile and very friendly. I will miss you Darcy. My prayers go out to Gordon. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARCY !

I had the pleasure of knowing Darcy from work. He was always such a devoted and hard worker, such a knowledgeable person. He had such a good sense of humor, sometimes even cynical. Most of all he always was there to give a helping hand he will truly be missed. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to his friends and family.

I met Darcy and Linda about 5 weeks ago ... I felt like I have known them for a lifetime. Darcy being very quiet and reserved at first - the more he talked to me the more he opened up. What a dear man...I'm so grateful to have known him for the time I did. My heart is broken in so many pieces and we will never understand why he was taken so sudden and so early in his lifetime...Darcy will be terribly missed and my heart and prayers go out to his family and friends....and especially Linda. We have to pray for Linda and help her deal with such a great loss. I love you both....Darcy we miss you so much and you will always be in our thoughts....God Bless

I attended Harrison High with Darcy. He was always trying to make you laugh or get you in trouble. Either way he was always a joy to be around... So sorry to hear about the loss of such a good guy.
