Gone but not forgotten!

Here is how some list members felt when they heard the sad news:
* He was a very nice man, great to talk with. We will all miss his input to this list.
* Though I didn't always agree with him I did respect him greatly.
* Darryl meant a lot to this list and its members. I know I will never look at the MOON
again without thinking about his hard won contributions. I think this poem by Jack
London fit him well:
I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather
that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze
than it should be stifled by dryrot
I would rather be a superb meteor,
every atom of me in magnificent glow,
than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
That he did.....
