Darryl Lionel .. known affectionately as DL .. always the uncle who was there as a support for me and my family as long as I can recall .. a great friend .. and my footy mate, even though opposing teams!

To me he embodied living the way we all aspire .. the values that are the heart and soul of the “True Blue Aussie” .. he demonstrated his principles thru being the good husband, good father, good friend, good family man, good neighbor .. and community support played a huge part in his life with his renowned Box Hill Golf Club contributions and scouting and other activities; I could not say a word against him .. he was obliging to the core, always there when needed and whilst tragedy struck as it does in life, he “sucked it up princess” and went on with it .. changes in the latter years he struggled with the understanding and the reality that they had come his way and it wasn’t a time that he particularly enjoyed; a wonderful fulfilled life however leaving us with his values and take on life as a legacy. Along with his beloved Betty, so many fond, special and lasting memories.
Love you Daryl .. Jool ..

A relative newcomer to Box Hill Golf Club (joined in November 2011), I had the honour to interview Daryl not long after they named ‘his room’. A well deserved and long lasting tribute to a man who loved Box Hill Golf Club, volunteering so many hours over so many decades and deserved every accolade that came his way. Sadly missed but will never be forgotten.
