Although we “lost touch” over the years, I have great, fun memories of our high school days. The group was always Daryl, Lyle, Frank, Rich, Pete, and myself. Also many others, but that was the tight group. I was happy to read all of Daryl’s family and successes. See you later, Daryl. Condolences to Cindi and family.

I would see Daryl, Cindi, Jonathan and Kim every January for about 20 years for a work trip. I always loved making him laugh and of course he always made me laugh. His laugh was great! Always enjoyed the conversations with him. I never had to worry about food because Daryl was "on the job". Seeing him and their family was the reason I continued to go to that event lol. He was always so giving and proud of all the kids. He will be missed by so many!!!
My memories of him are all kind. We used to laugh at how difficult they made loading and unloading at the places we had meets. We always knew we could do it better. They should’ve just consulted us in the first place.☺️ I’m sad to hear of this but I know he’s resting well. I love this sweet family and I will hold you close in my heart during this difficult time. ❤️
Please except our deepest sympathy for your loss. Growing up with Daryl was a joy. We had some unforgettable times. It was always great fun to get together and reminisce about old times. When someone we love dies, part of us dies with them. However, a part of them lives on in us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sincerely, The Richard Ciello Family
Always professional and competent working at the SWFWMD. Enjoying a good cigar. An excellent golf partner at the SWFWMD golf tournaments. Expressing pride in his children. A great person to have known and worked with. Our sympathies to his family and friends.
I remember when Daryl introduced me to his best friend, Frank. It was at Cindi’s parents house. I poked Frank in the tummy and called him the Pillsbury Doughboy. He must have liked my warped sense of humor. About a month after Daryl and Cindi married Frank and I tied the knot. We had some nice times together. Missed them both when they moved to Florida. Hope the guys are having a great time together!
