Darby may be best remembered for the energy he gave to his hobbies. Over the years, visitors to the house on Luzerne St were amazed by Darby’s fish tanks, house plants, flower gardens and cooking.

He loved music, playing tennis, entertaining, traveling, meeting new people and creative storytelling. He delighted in his annual Fourth of July neighborhood contest where there was a $1. 00 rewarded for retrieving tennis balls fired high into the air from a live mortar in the back yard.

Dee and Darby retired to Florida in 1994 where new and old friends meet at their home in Ft. Myers. Services will be held for Darby in Johnstown, PA in early September.
