He was a member with Local 37 Operating Engineers, Baltimore.
He worked for S.J. Grove and Sons for 32 years as a master mechanic. His most memorable job was the Jennings Randolph Lake Bloomington Dam Project.

His special love of his life was he raised one of his son's Reg. Quarter colts that he named "Chance." He always said, "Where can you go and find a stallion as tame as him?" He would drive his car back to the pasture and feed his horse bread out of the car window.
Darrell enjoyed hunting, NASCAR, and traveling to Florida in the winter months. While in Florida, he would attend the Daytona 500 with his brother Slim and his very special niece, Ginny.
