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 …………..

My sincere condolences

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, 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.

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.
