I lived in a share house with Daryl in Red Bluff Street in 1973. We ran garbage together for the Sandy council. You learn a lot about someone when you run alongside them for 6 hours, emptying people’s garbage. We laughed an awful lot. We also cooked for one another when neither of us was very good at it.
We went to Festival Hall that year, to see the Faces. Ronnie Lane had left not long before. Daryl was a fan of Ronnie Lane, and expressed his disappointment at his non appearance. That night it was Kenny Jones, Ian McLagan, Ronnie Wood, Phil Chen (he did a great job), and Rod Stewart. It was an amazing show.
I am sad that Daryl has died. I hadn’t seen him for many years, but he was a sweet, sweet man, and kind. Condolences to those who were close. ❤️

I first met Daryl in the early 90’s at the Bleak House where he was painting., where he affectionately earned the nickname Rembrandt. Our friendship was rekindled in the early 2000’s where he became a tenant in our upstairs apartment of our business premises the Highett Lotto. We enjoyed many a Friday night session’s in the rear court yard & at the Highett RSL. Thanks for friendship & the good times. God speed on your next journey Daryl. Our most sincere condolences to the entire family & friends. R.IP💙🙏

I don't remember teaching Daryl at Haileybury, but we got to know one another in the occasional lunches organised by Ian Cox and Ian Bland. So pleased that Ian Bland was with Daryl in his last hours.

We are saddened by the passing Daryl.
With many treasured memories of the Christmases you visited us on the farm and time you spent with our family, when everyone ate too much, and told funny stories. Lots of laughs and noise, so Daryl would disappear for a few minutes to get some fresh air. Remembering those times. Respected and loved older Brother and Brother in law to Rohan and Sue. Much loved Uncle Daryl of Bryan, Janelle, Stephen, Christopher and Adrian and their partners.
Cherished memories
