I’m so sorry to hear Darryl has passed away. I was his delivery guy for Guardian Pharmacy and got to know him over a 3 year period. He was one of my favorite customers and we had many talk’s about his life and his dog’s.I know he did his very best to fight his illness even though it was at times very difficult. My heart goes out to Vivian and Len.

When Daryl and I were in high school together we used to have math competitions in class to see who got the highest marks, we usually tied around 95%. When he started Karaoke in PEI, I was his first host. We had a blast. He will be missed by many. Rest in peace my friend.
