Darryl's daughters accepting his award with their Grandfather, Joe Sr.
Their father is also in the Palm Beach Hall of Fame ,as well as, the Florida HOF.
They were great players and members of an even better family.
The following year after Darryl's death Joey and his wife gave birth to twin boys Matt & Alec. The boys are eighteen now and our tremendous, and internationally ranked, golfers. They are also very good kids that I think a lot of. They will be attending SMU next fall on full golf scholarships.
They are very talented.
Trust me on this one.
(A couple of years ago)
Below is a poem I wrote in December of 1997 a few months after they were born.
Pots of Clay
Some are given one pot new
abundant blessings abound; you were given two
a true gift in those pieces of clay
love must be given every day.
The gifts unwrapped in the middle of the fall
to each was given a basketball
Matt & Alec are their namesake
two precious pots of clay, so much at stake.
Before them "One" was taken away
we all wish he were here today
in his eyes pride would glisten for all to see
those two little souls would have loved Uncle D.
Two pots of clay
parents are the potters, kids the clay
time must be given to shape and mold
so they do the same when they grow old.
Praying that God will watch over them every day
blessing mom and dad with the right things to say
praying for strength in each endeavor and safety while they play
never letting them forget that "I love you" is easy to say.
