Darrel was a 1970 graduate of Wiley High School and then attended Indiana State University. He went on to own and operate his own business, Dependable Floor Care Service, for many years. In his free time, he loved swimming and fishing at Dietz Lake, visiting yard sales, collecting antiques, and supporting IU basketball.
