A tribute to Darryl.
Darryl touched the lives of everyone who descended the stairs, the ladder or passed under the lane rope into Lane 1 of Oak Flats (25m) pool.
Darryl was half of one of the greatest (but unknown) comedy duos of all time. Darryl was the Abbott (the straight man) to Garry’s Costello. Drifting side-by-side, up and down Lane 1, no subject off limits, no one could escape their comedy.
Darryl’s love for Sue was legendary and his journey of late had been made more difficult by her passing last year.
Over the last 10 years, I’ve chatted to Darryl after completing my laps on a near daily basis as he worked the room from Lane 1. I could hear the laughter as I swam, which is truly a wonderful thing.
Darryl’s been a constant source of great humour, wisdom and boundless humanity.
Darryl was a great storyteller and wonderful narrator of life’s journey.
It has been a privilege to have known Darryl and to be his friend.
Forever remembered, sorely missed, irreplaceable – Vale Darryl (King of the Pool).
