Remembering Darrell Burleigh

From the son of longtime West Seattleite Darrell Burleigh:

I just wanted you to know that my father passed away recently.

He was more than just the best dad a son could hope for. He was a great man. He led by quiet example. He touched many lives and everyone liked him.

I’m sure he will be remembered by those who worked alongside him at the West Seattle Post Office, his friends at the West Seattle Golf Course, most recently those he helped at the Granada condos, and fellow residents at DayStar Assisted Living. For all of his adult life, he was a member of the West Seattle Christian Church. His life was Christ-like.

Plans for a memorial or funeral service are pending.

    Darrell was my favorite!  He was so warm and friendly and with wife Janie by his side, they were quite the couple.  Darrell loved the Mariners and treated my husband and I to a game once, I think he had season tickets.  Our condolences to the loving family.

     He and Janie were such good friends to all the Kirchner’s; we send our deepest condolences to the Burliegh clan.  Love from Barb, Bruce, Patti & Rob

    My folks spoke frequently and fondly of Darrell and Janie.   They leave a lovely legacy.

Sorry, comment time is over.
