Darryl grew up on the Hannah/Hinshaw farm in Hall where he was instilled with strong values and learned the importance of faith, family, and work. He graduated from Monrovia High School in 1965 and attended Purdue University, where he earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering. An honorable veteran, Darryl served as a pilot in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War; continuing on active duty service until 1981. He then joined the Air National Guard, serving until his retirement in 1993. Darryl selflessly dedicated 23 years, 2 months and 2 days of service to his country. Known for immense compassion and generosity, Darryl loved God and others. He embraced life and thoroughly enjoyed coming back to the farm for visits with family and friends.
