I'm not sure if this is where I should post this on the board but I wanted to let you guys know my father Darrell "dadcpu" passed away September 11th. He spoke very highly about a bunch of y'all on the board. He will be missed by all he interacted with. Miss you Dad.

Darrell was one of the first members of the forum I met at a gun show many many years ago. It was always a pleasant gun show day at the Richmond Raceway with him behind the table. He will be missed.

Damn , Darrell introduced me to the M1 Garand in more detail as well as the 1903 , which in turn I acquired my own over the years after shooting his , going to miss arguing with him and being told I’m a young punk and hearing back in his day crap while he was standing there smoking a cigarette while I cut and split firewood , rest in peace old man see ya on the other side …………..

Condolences. RIP DADCPU.

RIP dad.

Very sorry to see this.. don’t think I ever met him in person but knew him from here.

Always a kind word and a voice of reason and civility.

RIP Darrell, you will be missed.

Dang.... another good guy gone to rest. He will be missed.

So sorry to hear about this. Liked hanging with him at the gun show. He helped so much with the website.
My sincere condolences

My sincere condolences to Darrell's family he will be greatly missed

This is sad news, dadpcu was a good member. I had many deals and conversations with him. He will be missed. RIP dadpcu.

Rest in Peace my friend.

RIP.

Rip dad. Was an asset to the community. Good dealings back in the day and always had good vibes. Rest easy.

Ahh, that's bad news. I really liked the man. Honest and good. My sympathies to his family and the guys here who knew him even better. A big loss.

I hate to hear this about Darrell. RIP. You'll be missed.

Sad to hear this. My condolences to you and your family. He was a fun guy to make a deal with. We could have talked for hours after every deal. I will miss him but I will also have good memories of the fun times. Rest in peace.

RIP Darrell.

Darrell was one of my best friends and we spoke often. I have talked with Patty and expressed the condolences from myself and the vast majority of the members of this site. As I told her, if there is anything I or we can do to help your family, please let me know. She has my number. Going to miss him a lot

Will miss you

Did a few deals with dad and will always remember them. Will miss you darrell. Until we meet again in the funshow in the sky.R.I.P.Sir

RIP Darrell, One if the finest I ever met here. What a loss for Virginia Gun Trader and everyone he knew. Ill never forget finally meeting him in person on Lobby day . I got my 1st 410 from him a bolt action Blonde Savage. I think it was probably decade ago, BobVA muled it up. Both great dudes.

He was a good guy I had a couple good interactions with him and form the first one we hit it off like we been friends forever. Rest easy buddy

.

Man, this sucks.
I've known Darrell as long as I've been a VAGT member.
Last year prior to Lobby Day we spent several hours at his house just talking.

When Richardo45 passed we talked at length as we all were dealing with health issues.

RIP my friend.

RIP Darrell

Rest In Peace

SUCH A NICE MEMBER! THE SHOUTBOX WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

Sorry to hear this.

(thx for sending the wire Glock Man)

Sorry to hear about Darrell. We went riding together after he finished his build.

My condolences.

Losing Darrell is a true loss to our Country and local community, RIP and God will care for him. A truly good and fair man. We will miss you my friend!

Damn Dadcpu was a real one.
I remember getting BBQ with him down in Richmond.

was there already a service?

I have seen DADCPU most of the 14 years I've been here, he was always helping in one way or another, fund dives for ill members, Road Warrior, fd282, his next door neighbor needed home repair, enjoyed talking motorcycles, 1911's his Sig P-210, and firearms in general, when the shout box would get out of hand he'd moderate.

Darrell was a great asset to this board. He will be missed!

Not yet librarian supposed to be one in October but private service what I’ve been told ?

I remember talking to him years ago in his shed/gun cleaning room and laughing as I watched him pull out an old pair of tighty-whities to clean the SAR1 I was about to purchase from him. I still laugh about that
