Condolences for Daryl L. Schares
Dear Paula & Jenny & family – know that we are lifting you in prayer that our LORD will gently hold all of you and lead you through this time and that HE will give you the comfort only HE can give. So sorry that you have been parted from each other so soon, but thankful you have a faith that gives you hope of eternal life. “HE loved them to the end.” John 13:1 KJV- with our sincere sympathy- Gayle and family.
I knew Daryl from the Product Engineering Center. He was one of our weldors
that worked on 1st shift in the weld shop. I installed and updated the electrical
circuits for all the welders that were being used and electrical hand tools that was
used in the welding trade. I enjoyed talking to Daryl, he was great to work with, as
I needed welding done for the construction projects that I was on. Daryl will be missed
by many people that he knew and worked with at John Deere. Most of us are retired
now, but we are still friends. I will see you down the road, when I am called Home.
Dear Paula and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Daryl was a wonderful man and I am grateful that I got to know him. My family was sadden to hear of his passing. They want to let you and all the grandkids know just how special a grandfather is. We are on a family vacation right now and will not be able to make it to the funeral. Paula my prayers go out to you and all of your kids.
I will miss seeing Daryl everyday, but I know that he is with us always. May peace and wonderful memories fill your hearts. Love Crystal Shedenhelm
