I will always remember Daryle and how much he encouraged me to learn about almost everything. He was one of the most special people I have ever met and made a huge difference in my life. My sincere condolences to his family, especially his beautiful wife, Jeri.

In science, there is a famous quote about us standing on the shoulders of giants. Daryle was one of those giants, with his profound influence reaching far and wide. He will be sadly missed.
