Daryl was born on July 11, 1951 to Kenneth and Ione (Goss) Lanphere in Eau Claire, WI. Anyone who knew him, knew that he enjoyed listening and singing to country music – the life of the party. He loved watching Packer games, hunting and fishing and was an excellent cook and baker, especially his fish-fry. He deeply loved his eternal love and wife and all their years together. Many of his favorite days were spent on the deck with his dog Jade, family and friends.
