I wish I could meet anyone in Darryl’s family and share my memories from bootcamp in 1984. He was an amazing kid. So thin and skinny but unbreakable. It broke my heart years ago when I learned about his passing. God bless Darryl. The best marksmen the Marine Corps could know. Knocking down B modified target at 609 yards with bare sights.
