I've know Darwin since highschool. What a treasure he is. Seeing this video makes me homesick for Wellington.  Thanks, Larry, for this delightful interview.

2:18 I'm sure Darwin will still show up often. It's who he is and I don't think he'd feel like himself without doing so.

I remember when I was a kid, I always had to find Darwin at the store so I could say hello. It was the highlight of going to Dillon's. I even had the pleasure of working with him when I moved back to Wellington for a while in 2007. He's a great guy with an even greater personality. Thank you @lhatteberg for giving Darwin the recognition he deserves! I really appreciate it!

Darwin, I know we will still see you at the store now & again. You have been such a great friend for all these years! You were always the same wonderful guy all through our school years. We all love you very much and Wellington is a better place because of you!
