So Sorry for your Loss
I grew up with Darrel, along with Louis and Richard, in Atglen. Many wonderful childhood memories. Sending condolences to his family in this very sad time.
Darrel
I'm glad to be a part of this great family. Darrel treated me like one of his daughters. I remember Libby and I growing up and asking Darrel for permission to do something and him being firm with us both just like I was his own. I can remember the sleep overs at his house and him making me part of the family. Darrel and my father Albert enjoyed each others friendship. The Gibson's and the Pittman's were a crew back in the day. We had so may memorable times in that Atglen house. I'm just so glad I was part of it and now have all those great memories. I can remember when little Darrel was born aka Bubby. Darrel was the happiest mad on the earth he finally got his son. Now his family was complete. 3 wild and crazy girls and one baby boy for all of us to love and boy we did and still do.
I was so glad that I got to be with the family during Darrel's last hrs. I want to thank the Gibson family for including me. To my best friend Libby and the rest of my family remember Darrel lives in your hearts every day and GOD'S promise is true that one day we'll see Darrel again. O and Darrel thanks for trying to keep Libby and I straight believe it or not some of it did work. I'll miss you but will see you when I get called home.

memories
Darrel was such a nice man. I remember coming to pick Libby up to just go out and drive around. He was alway there and would talk to me. I never understood why he let her go with me to Florida for Memorial Day weekend. He must have trusted me more than I thought. He will be missed alot.
