Robert Edward Darling

Birth: Dec. 13, 1952 - Death: Sep. 23, 2016

"He lived up to the reputation of his name, leading the life of a servant; he was intelligent, extremely handy and selfless; always willing to serve others without considering the cost. Whatever human flaws he might have had were outweighed by the virtues of an obedient son of God. He displayed God's love though his actions towards his family, friends and strangers.

He was a devoted husband to his wife, a loving father to his sons, a joyful grandfather to his granddaughter, a loyal son to his parents, and a true friend to his siblings. He held two bachelors degrees in physics and electrical engineering and enjoyed a long career with the Fedral Communications Commission from which he retired in January, 2016.

He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Darling and his wife of 27 years, Diana Darling.

He is survived by two sons, granddaughter, mother and stepfather, two sisters, one brother and numerous nieces and nephews."
