Very sorry to hear about Daryl’s passing. Daryl was a good man. May he rest in peace.
I met Daryl around 2012..”The Bohemian ” knew his classic cars…and with his quick wit and fast talk he made sure you were listening…My Brother in Christ I will see You Again…
So sorry to hear about Daryl I remember him well and know he was a very nice person. Praying comfort for all his loved ones.
I will be there for my daughter and granddaughter to give them my support.
