Sorry to hear of Darrell’s passing. He was a great guy who would help you out no matter what. My wife and I had him out to work on our washer a couple of times over the years. We also had the opportunity to bowl against him and his team in the Tuesday night leagues at the Christiansburg SuperBowl. May the Lord give you peace during your loss.

What a good old boy Darrell was to know with always a smile on his face and a funny remark to make!
He had a caring heart, willing to help others with home repairs.
Able to take a joke just as good as give one, his jovial presence will be missed. We need more laughter in this world!
May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear about Darrel. Was just the other day trying to reach out to him to do some repairs. I certainly will miss him. Thanks for all the work you did. Condolences to the family.

I am saddened about the passing of Darrell Bandy, my former neighbor/handyman. Darrell could repair just about anything–lawn mowers, household appliances, wood repairs. He provided same day/next day repair service always with a smile, friendly nature and skill. My deepest sympathy to his wife, Joyce, and grandsons who often helped him.
