CCGV19 0 #1 June 30, 2015 http://tinyurl.com/pogq8gb The skydiving community in itself is small, in the little area of Western New York, where Darrin and I started it's even smaller. People who come and jump once don't realize the time involved in obtaining a license, the amount of weekends and time spent with people at the dz, the sun up to sundown days , the after jumping beer and conversations that go on for hours. During that time you not only become friends with people but they also become your second family. So when you lose part of that family it hurts all around. The community as a whole lost an incredible individual Saturday night June 27th in a tragic accident. We will all miss the bright green helmet and the smile that was always under it. Blue skies brother! You are already missed. Fly free in heaven and don't forget to rock those knee high socks like a boss ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The preliminary and secondary callings as well as the funeral ceremony will be hosted at the Amigone Funeral Home which is located at 7540 Clinton St, Elma NY 14059. The preliminary calling will be held on July 2nd from 2-4PM and the second calling will be held from 7-9PM. The funeral service and mass will also be held at the Amigone funeral home at 10AM on July 3rd. Darrin will be laid to rest at Saint Adalbert's Cemetery on Broadway.

flashpipe 1 #4 July 30, 2015 Darrin jumped at several different DZs, but I believe he got his start, and most of his jumps, were at WNY Skydiving. (www.wnyskydiving.com) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
