He was one in a million!

Darreld worked for Kennecott for 30 years, retired and then went to work for Werners BMW in Salt Lake City for 10 years. After that, he then found his dream job in 2001 where he delivered fund raiser pizza kits for Little Caesars. His title was "The Pizza Dude" and he "played" here until 2010.
