Darwin was a dedicated employee of Royal Homes for 38 years and was remarkable in his role as warehouse manager in Wingham. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, siblings and friends. He pursued many interests, giving back to the community, church. He was always known for his generosity in helping people and always going the extra mile. He enjoyed his many travels and cruising – especially the Caribbean and Cuba. Darwin and Bev enjoyed snowmobiling and visiting their family and friends. Darwin had a passion for hockey as a player for many years and was a loyal supporter of the Toronto Maple Leafs. His favourite relaxing time was watching hockey and having debates with his brother Les.
