Darrell served in the Navy for 20 years, where he went to the first computer school that the Navy had and worked in communications. During this time his children were born, and he spent as much time as he could with his family. In leaving the Navy in 1982, he moved to Las Cruces, NM, and worked for 15 years at SpaceCom, also known as TDRSS and other names. Here he helped launch the first TDRS satellite, which also communicated with the Space Shuttle. In 1990 he started his own business "Angel's Photography". Dee loved taking pictures and loved being with all the kids and families. In his last 20 years, he was close to the VFW 10124 where he was the Commander for over 5 years.
