I will never forget him or our adventures growing up.. Be well my friend.. - Posted by: Kerry hartman (Old Friend) on: Jan 20, 2013

I first met Daryl in the late seventies when he decided to show me the ropes in my first office job. That was in the Federal Customs House, downtown Vancouver. Daryl had the dubious distinction of being the youngest censor in the country. He screened suspect porno trying to be brought into the country. Yes day in day out Daryl stood on guard for thee, protecting our fragile society from the "Debbie does Dallas's" and "Deep Throats" of the day. Of course his dedication to country was matched only by his love of friends and fun, which meant we were treated to a few outstanding stag parties with some of the better material. Daryl took great pride in his work and yet relished in the party light. A light that shone white hot and drew many to it. Thanks for all the great memories "Lad". Enjoy the land of Nod. - Posted by: Brian McLauchlan (Former house mate and best friend) on: Jan 09, 2013

We go back to Wm Tell and then to his To venues. He was always special to us. May he rest in Peace Saddened at his early passing - Posted by: Don Howard (Long time friend and patron) on: Jan 06, 2013

Daryl was a feisty boy who didn't do things because the teacher said so. He always wanted to know the "Why?" of the matter and was the class spokesperson when things seemed "unfair" to the class. I was privileged to have Daryl as a young man take me out for dinner to the King Edward in Toronto-but the teacher still bailed the student out as he was a few dollars short come time for the bill. The free spirit that was so much a part of Daryl is what has stayed with me over the years and had such an influence that when my wife Cathy and I had our first child, there was no hesitation in naming him Daryl. We share the family's loss and I am thankful for Daryl being a part of my life. - Posted by: The Reverend Wayne J. Baswick (Former Grade Six Teacher, Hamilton, Ontario) on: Dec 28, 2012

Last I saw Daryl was in 1980 at brother Ron's in Kitsilano and he had brought over large speaker monitors which we placed on the penthouse deck and rocked the neighborhood. My sincere condolences to Daryl's family. KK - Posted by: Kim Zivanovich (Friend of brother Ron) on: Dec 21, 2012

Daryl would stay up late sharing ideas or possibilities on changing the food industry with great passion and always had genuine interest in what others had to say. Daryl, you will be missed. - Posted by: Shayne MacKenzie (Co-worker and friend ) on: Dec 20, 2012

Just wanted to take a moment to say goodbye to Daryl. He and I worked together with Aramark and had a very interesting relationship as we had very similar back grounds and certainly seemed to enjoy ribbing each other about our various roles in the company. We always joked about who would run the new stadium at the University and as things turned out it would be me. I was certainly looking forward to having a lot of interesting meetings and sessions pertaining to this over the course of this Summer but alas it was not meant to be. It was a pleasure to work and socialize with you Daryl and you will certainly be missed. May the good Lord have mercy on your soul and may you forever Rest In Peace.
