  I had the opportunity to work with Darrell nearly 40 years.....during that time we forged a friendship that included happy hours and in the early years, sailing. We travelled together extensively, often just he and I, with the sponsors and customers always appreciating Darrell's capabilities and great personality. After work it was ball games, dinners, we would have some laughs, and yes even a Tom Petty concert. Once the kids arrived it was clear he loved to talk about the family and would keep me posted on Evan and Emma's activities. I am thankful for the memories and know that he will be deeply missed.

  My sincerest condolences to Deb, Evan, and Emma. I had the privilege and pleasure of working (as well as scheming and laughing) with Darrell from my start at NUWC until both our retirements. Although there is too much to put into a paragraph, he was a fine engineer, a great colleague, a wonderful family man, and a good friend. Godspeed Darrell; I'll miss you my friend. Paul Carreiro

  Deb, Evan, Emma, Deeply saddened to learn of Darrell's passing. I was fortunate to have had the privilege to make Darrell's acquaintance early-on in my career at NUWC, then enjoyed many years working with him. Anyone who knew Darrell was aware of how immensely proud he was of his family. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time, and Darrell will live on in my memory forever. Paul Burke

  It is with much sadness that I mourn the loss of my colleague Darrell. When I first began working at Newport, Darrell and I connected and he definitely helped eased my transition. After Darrell's federal retirement, he joined Precise Systems where we shared an office. During COVID, we maintained our distance from each other but I could always hear Darrell attentively listening to the latest news and speculation on the various sports radio channel. Our paths would diverge again but we always maintained contact through social media. I'll miss those memes he would share and I look forward to the day that we share that office in the afterlife where we provide our daily wisdom on how the Patriots should be managed. Until that day, I will remember that tomorrow is never guaranteed...always live your life to the fullest. Thank you Darrell for setting that example. Devo
