My favorite photo of Daryl.
We shared many moments with a good cigar.
We went to the Arizona State Shoot a dozen times. We shot 400 rounds of competition 12 gouge trap.
His birthday party at Goldie and Herm's house.
We shared a love of shooting.
Another birthday party moment.
We went to the Ben Avery Shooting Facility about once a month.
He often sighted a new rifle at BASF.
Before he moved to Arizona ewe shot at the San Diego Law Enforcement range. On this day he was sighting in a new pistol.
Onn his first shot with the new pistol he put the round directly in the X, the center of the target. I picked up the brass and had the target framed for his birthday.
On one visit we went to an indoor range and I treated him to a fully automatic rifle. It was his first time shooting one.
Vivi and Daryl. Married 50 years.
I wish this photo was larger. They adored each other and were one of the four marriages I envied.
Daryl bought Cuttie during Covid. Daisy, his black Labrador and constant companion for a decade died a few years before and Daryl couldn't get another Daisy so he got a cat.
They were visiting from Arizona and had a chance to see the OB fire station extinguishing the fire across the alley from my house.
