    Carol, Sarah and families; We are so sorry to find out about Dary. Dary was a close part of our life for many years. I remember going to junior high with Dary and double dating when I first met Ernie. For many years we spent a lot of time together with Dary and cousin David. Our hearts go out to all of you and if there’s anything I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to call. Dary will forever be in our hearts and memories. With our deepest sympathy, Inge and Ernie

    I always thought of Dary as “uncle” Dary. His brother Gayle and my dad were best friends. I always thought he wasa very cool cat. I will add him to my weekly prayer list and I am glad I was able to chat weith him a couple times on Facebook. I dont know Carol but I want to extend my deepest sympathies and prayers and blessings. Amazing grace god has shed hi grace on thee…Sincerly Karl..Prayers for uncle Dary.

    To the Houseworth families: I knew Dary from the 60’s as friend and friend of friends. I moved to Texas after that, but occasionally connect with Lawrence friends and just heard about Dary again, but this time, of his passing. I am so sorry for your loss.

    I remember him as one great dancer, a kind sole, a very fun person to be around, a “cool” dresser, and from a very varid and large family. One of my best friends from that time, Dottie, David’s former wife, was lost to complications of cancer years ago but I got to talk to her and reminise about the “simplier” times.

    I remember them all well with a big smile and hope that all their children know that they were a light in so many lives — including mine, back then.
