He was also a Pipe Fitter for the Southern Pacific Railroad and worked as a Collection Teller for Alamo National Bank. After leaving the bank he was able to do what he truly loved and did mechanic work out of his garage. There was nothing he couldn't drag home and repair it. If something was broke, Darryl was called upon. He called himself, Mr. Maintenance Man.

His greatest achievement was being a Dad - Mr. Mom to his daughter as he liked to say. His family and working on cars and tractors were the loves of his life. Whenever something important needed to be done, he always did it with his family.  He attended all of his daughter's church and school functions. He loved to dance to western and old time music.  Darryl was quiet, gentle and a kindhearted man. He loved his family and was always happy just to be at home.
