So very sorry to hear of Darryl´s passing. We were very shocked to hear he had gone, but hear he was out fishing so he would have been enjoying that. I knew Darryl for many years when he first started with his butchering, a young fella. He was always a very good, hard working, and fun loving friend. He will be missed by many. Condolences to all the family, from Kevin and Leona Field Waimate

My condolences to his family and many friends.
Its been many years since we ran around the Melville Rugby fields together but I distinctly remember him as a legend on the field. No doubt a legend in life as well..........
Rest easy Darryl
