RIP, DarrellV

[JonCanfield]

I think Darrell gave me my first welcome, and probably like. He also pointed me in the right direction to fix my wife’s grandfather clock

Ha!
That's right; man, he was intent on getting that clock going.

Stuck at 7:40 was it?
Hahaha!

 

[Dave_W]

So sorry to hear this.

Scored major brownie points on that one

He sent me some noiseless pups AND had the patience to walk my stupid ass through installing them. That's the kind of guy he was. You know he's one of the best when he takes the time to walk a hillbilly from North Florida through changing pups and wiring the bridge pup to the tone knob.

What happened?!!!

He was just here!

I got the same feeling.
That would have been his last two posts, Oct.23rd.

RIP Darrell.
You'll be missed.

Damn, that is sad. So sorry to hear this. RIP Darrell.

 

[DavGrape]

+1 !
You'd get a cribbage point for good ones!

I am very sorry to read this just now. Darrell was a great guy and always a positive influence here. He always used to rib me about my user name and lusted after my candy apple red Strat. Regardless of what he had to say to me, it always made me smile. I will miss him.

Gawd, we had a funny exchange once.

Darrell:
She worked in the customer relations dept. IIRC.
But her name was Deborah Beccue.
And I can't help but think to this day what a golden opportunity her parents missed by not naming her Barbara instead!

Barb Beccue.
Omigawd.

RIP, Darrell.

The stories of his red LP with the Shaws, his great grandfather clock score, etc. and the profound connections he found among them were inspiring.

I’ll miss having him around.

Catch ya on the B-side, bro.

 

[Zungle]

Total bummer......

 

[fugazi20]

Aw, terrible to hear. So sorry to hear that as, like everybody else has said, he was a great guy and helpful. Way too young as well. RIP Darrell.

 

[Marshall & Moonshine]

Can we nominate him for VIP? He was a really nice, fun, funny guy wherever you found him on MLP.

 

[LP121]

I remember he had like 1000 posts, and he was bound and determined to hit 10,000 ASAP.

Took him all afternoon, but he got there.

 

[Marshall & Moonshine]

He definitely hit the ground running.
When I was new, I looked at these huge post counts and I was like “damn, kids…. get a life…”
Now, 25+k posts later…..
Haha.
There are good people here.

 

[CB91710]

I did not know you well, but I considered you a friend.
RIP Darrell
