Todd, Kaylene and family,

Todd, I’m so very sorry to hear about Daryl! I remember some very good times we all had with him back in the 90’s! May god bless you and your family at this very difficult time! With all my love, Sheila

If we had to describe our friend Daryl, kind and thoughtful comes immediately to mind. He was a true friend, the kind you could call at any time and he would come and help, no matter what. We all have our stories and memories, from backyard bonfires, to his cooking of my mother’s 90th birthday party, to playing canasta until the wee hours.
He will be missed on many different levels. We pray he finds peace as he finds his way to God.

I can remember Daryl and Todd scare me when I was younger with the monster mask! Good times with the uncles! 🙂 Daryl you will be missed!!

To the Schmitz family I am so sorry for your loss of Daryl. Rest in peace my friend.

Daryl, or ‘Bob’ as my mom called him, was a wonderful friend to my mom & our family since I was a child. We kept in touch over the years as Daryl ‘Bob’ traveled around to Florida, Vegas & eventually Ohio. I’ll miss seeing him on his visits to Minnesota. I hope his family & friends find comfort in the memories they have with him. He had such a big heart & I’m sure his family & friends each gained another guardian angel.
