Darrel, an all around good guy who I had encounters with throughout my lifetime. He was alwas very pleasant to me whenever I was around his daughters and after moving in between my Uncle Ken Bondy and my Grandma Sis Bondy in Fort Peck, MT. He seemed to be quite the caretaker of the upper block while people were away from their homes. Quite a good neighbor, friend, and member of the community. He will be missed for sure.

Good Bye Darrel, I will miss you.
Your smile and laugh were something that brightened
my day every time we saw each other. Your stories of how
you took care of others in Fort Peck made you a real asset
to the community. They will miss you as well.
You leave behind 4 great kids. God bless you and your kids.
Vanessa (Hagestad) Bean says
Sending my deepest condolences to your family. Remembering memories of get togethers with you and my parents will always hold a special place in my heart. I can only imagine the laughter and jokes you will be telling all our loved ones in heaven. Uncle Darrel, your smile and laughter was infectious and jubilant. As years passed, we lost touch with one another although I would hear the accomplishments of your children and grandchildren. You will always be in my heart and prayers.

Many years ago when I lived in Wolf Point I met Darrel and he became a trusted friend. I admired the way he took care of Sharon during her illness. He was a good father to his four children. We hadn’t seen each other for years until on a trip to Fort Peck Jim and I stopped to visit, have coffee and catch up. It was a great time with a great friend. I will always treasure his friendship.
