This was sad to hear. Our deepest condolences. Darrell (Neuman to us), was a kind and loving man with a wonderful sense of humor. We miss the times he would just pop in and spend some time with us, laughing, telling stories and having a beverage or two. Our fondest memory of him will be the day he brought our fur grandbaby ZsaZsa home. He made a long trek to pick her up. She loved him and slept on his shoulder, cuddled to his neck all the way home. She always got excited when he stopped in. I know she was there to greet him when he arrived in heaven. Rest easy Neuman.
