Daryl worked many years at Western Electric in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, making telephone parts for the Bell System. Daryl took early retirement from Western Electric and then owned and operated the Cass County Cleaners in Harrisonville, Missouri. After selling the dry cleaning business and retiring, Daryl had a couple of part-time jobs working at Obie Carl’s carwash and doing manufacturing work for Bill Allee, both in Harrisonville, Missouri.

Daryl enjoyed raising and teaching his children. He taught them how to play the card game of pitch, ride a motorcycle and how to play sports. He spent many hours teaching them to throw, catch, bat, kick and run football passing routes in the backyard. Daryl rarely, if ever, missed football, basketball, baseball, softball, or volleyball games, wrestling meets, track meets or motorcycle races that included his children. He would travel from town to town to watch them play. During their childhood, Daryl took his kids to visit their grandparents almost every Sunday. He took them on a week long camping trip every July at Pomme de Terre Lake. He also took them to concerts, on float trips and even to see Evel Knievel make a big motorcycle jump. Daryl was a wonderful dad and provided many cherished childhood memories for his children.

Daryl loved riding motorcycles and often spent weekends dirt-biking with friends. Daryl also enjoyed racing stock cars at local dirt tracks. He enjoyed sports in high school, played softball in a work league at Western Electric and golfed with friends. Daryl enjoyed watching high school football and continued to follow the Harrisonville Wildcats football team for many years after his children were out of school.

Daryl was a member of the Cass County Elks Lodge #2791, Harrisonville, Missouri, since 1998. He was Elk of the Year in 2002 and 2003. He served as Club Room Manager and Trustee. Daryl actively volunteered in the youth programs, veterans programs, bingo, house committee and many other activities that the Lodge hosted, including delivering items to the Ellis Fischel Cancer Center and the VA.
