Josh, thank you for posting this. Is there any information yet on memorial services?

It is indeed sad news for me, Daryl was a good friend and we wintered in Florida together several years ago, We usually went to the Southern together. I called him several weeks ago and he told me the bad news, I had been calling and talking to him every couple weeks since then. I never new it would happen this quick. Daryl loved his big bore Parkers and airplanes, Guys you never know, live life to the fullest every single day. Daryl I will have a gin and tonic just for you tonight, RIP my good friend, Gary

A day I will not soon forget was when I met both Daryl and Gary at a Vintagers about 7 years ago. A genuine pair of Gentlemen. The sun sets earlier as we get deeper into Autumn.

I didn't know Daryl, but can appreciate the loss of such a universally loved and respected member of our community.
I was at the Beinfelds show Saturday, and visited with one of our older members. He said that it seems like we're losing about 25% of the old guard every year.
Let's not take anyone, or anything for granted.

Daryl was a wonderful man and a great supporter of the PGCA. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

That is indeed sad news. My only dealings with Daryl was that I sent him a gorgeous Alaskan black wolf hide.

Gentlemen, I spoke with Daryl's wife Pat this morning. Daryl did not want a service of any kind, He is to be cremated and his ashes spread over the airport at Penn Yann a place that meant so much to him. Friends may call between 1-4 PM Sunday January 28th at Weldon Funeral Home in Penn Yann. HIs obituary may be viewed at Finger Lakes Times Geneva N.Y.

I assume that somehow Penn Yan is also related to the small boat business?

Richard Flanders 01-23-2018 01:31 PM

Penn Yan Aero was Dary's airplane engine rebuilding shop and about as good as there ever has been. Very well known place that he had, I think, turned over to his family to run when he retired. Had I needed an engine I would have gotten one from them as he made me an incredible offer.
