To Glenda, Rachelle, Brett and families,
We are thinking of you all today as you farewell Daryl.
It was always lovely catching up with Daryl at family functions and seeing him cheering on the grandkids when they were playing sport.
Sorry we couldn’t be at the memorial service in person, but we are grateful to be able to tune into the livestream.

What a great man and wonderful father and grandfather, always on the sidelines for his kids and grandchildren who idolised him as much as he did them. May he rest peacefully.

We remember a man who meant a great deal to so many people.
The community of Dareton were very appreciative of Daryl’s time with the Wentworth Football Club
Also Watching the friendships between the players and their families while growing up showed me how a small community town was a great place to grow up
My heartfelt thoughts are especially with Glenda ,Rachelle and Brett & their Families, Your husband/dad & pop was clearly someone who meant the world to his family, and the love and respect people have for him speaks volumes about the life he lived.
He will be remembered not only for the role he played on the football fields ,but for the friendships he built and the lives he touched along the way.
May the many shared memories bring comfort, and may his spirit live on in the stories, laughter, and love that remain with all of us.
Rest peacefully
Tamrah Crisp xx

Daryl we go back a long way to the Mildura Technical School days when you were the fastest sprinter and best athlete those that competed against you found out on the combined school sports in the whole of Sunraysia.
Many race records still stand today as you were breathtaking with your acceleration no one could get close to you.
Then of course your AFL career took off and you played in several flags for the mighty Richmond Tigers and used your brilliant pace to your advantage to be a great player for not only Richmond but other AFL teams
I for one was privileged to know you for many years and delighted in watching your wonderful talent.
Will never forget you and I sincerely pass on my condolences to Glenda and all the extended family.
