He was very proud of all of the pursuits of his grandkids, taking in school plays, baseball games, choir performances, gymnastics practices and graduations. In his later years, he loved nothing more than watching his grandson, Morgan, play hockey and you could find him and Dianne in arenas all over the surrounding counties for a game. He was an active member of the community, volunteering for many years on the board of Blenheim Minor Hockey and suiting up as a referee, sometimes alongside his son, Todd. As one not to sit still, Darrel spent his ‘retirement’ working on the farm at Delhaven Orchards not far from the house where he grew up. He was on speed dial for his kids with any house related question, as he always knew how to fix whatever it may be. He was a carpenter for most of his life, having built or renovated many houses in the community.
