Christ, and he had a great passion for souls.
His joy and zeal for God was unparalleled, he praised God in the sanctuary with
boldness. It was immediately apparent that he loved God with all of his might yet
Darryl possessed dignity, even humility. His wisdom and intelligence in how
he dealt with people and how he conducted his own affairs was commendable.
I accompanied his as he would walk around Harvard campus witnessing to people
and inviting them to church, and they would come! There was no fear in this man.
Every where we went, every state neighborhood or campus he would spread the
word of God. He never had a scripted way of talking to people as he leaned on God
as to what to say how to respond to each individual. It always appeared to be tailor-
made to each person’s need as he was used of God to speak to their situation and
answering their questions with patience, love and respect.
Darryl had a perfect knowledge of the word of God and would without hesitation speak
to anyone about the grace and glory of God with a humble and quiet spirit. He loved
people and this was evident in the way he would patiently talk to them and the way they
would look at him and respond. Darryl listened to them as is he had all the time in the
world. Subsequently, he brought many people to Jesus Christ.
Serving Jesus was Darryl’s passion. Through dedicated, consistent hard work and study
he commanded respect because of his knowledge of the Word, his intelligence,
efficiency, strong sense of duty and uncompromising commitment. Throughout his short
life, obedience to God and His work came first. This revelation about God was evident in
his daily life, and as his wife, I can acknowledge that if you depend on God and have no
fear, everything falls into place. Sometimes, I would be pulling my hair out because of
circumstances, but Darryl never allowed himself to be controlled by circumstances. He
depended on God. This made him a confident and dependable husband and father to our
child Hannah.
At the National Labor Relations Board, a law firm in Hartford Connecticut; Darryl was an
outstanding and dedicated employee, and he was a witness of God’s love, and a strong
example of Christianity.
Darryl served as Pastor of the last two 1/2 years of his life. He never stopped reading and
studying until the late hours of the night meditating and writing notes for bible studies,
and sermons. Then he would do his own work for the Labor Board.
despite periods of intense pain due to various ailments he suffered he never lost his
desire to preach and teach the word of God. The last week that he taught bible study at
the church, I could see that he was not looking well; his eyes were becoming jaundiced
and I could see that his strength was waning. I said, “Darryl, you are not feeling well.
You have others in the church that can take over for you and teach the bible study. “ He
kept his eyes looking forward as he drove our car and responded with quiet confidence
and commitment, “That would be a defeatist attitude,” I will teach the bible study, don't
worry. He went on to teach that night and he did a marvelous job.visualizza meno
