He enjoyed playing guitar, trap shooting, repairing old radios and televisions, dear hunting, wild fowl hunting and fishing. He sang and played guitar at a radio station in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Darvin is survived by his wife, Gloria of Rugby; daughters, Catherine (John L. Jr.) Koren of Hereford, Arizona and Cheryl (Bruce) Modjeska of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by a brother, Willard Young and his parents.

Cheryl and Family,
Just recently learned of your father's passing and was deeply saddened when I found his obituary, while searching for a way to contact you regarding Vaughn genealogy. It was through our correspondence years ago, that I felt like I got to know Darvin and how special he was to you as a father and friend. Please accept my sincere heartfelt sympathy over your loss. My prayers are with you all during your time of grieving.
"Our loss on this earth today....Heaven's gain, forever.....".
Respectfully, Tillie Gentry

Just tried to find you and found this, Dear Cheryl, you have my sympathy, Best to your sister Cathy, Janice Bertolini Brick Cataldo
