evens, Washington, Matthew (wife Shaela) from Spirit Lake, Iowa, and Kristi (husband Curt) from Sheldon, Iowa. He was also blessed with 14 grandchildren: Katelynn, Sebastian, Riley, Ethan, Sierra, Madyson, Brad, Dalton, Madison, Brooklyn, Elijah, Kassadi, Nolan and Bryce; siblings: Joyce (husband Marv) Miller, Norm (wife Boots) Gross, and Linda Seeman; and a whole tribe of nieces, nephews, and cousins. Daryl was preceded in death by his parents: Lester and Evelyn Gross, mother-In-law: Melba Wilson, father-In-laws: Leonard Wallace and Gene Wilson, and brother-In-law: Clayton Seemann. Daryl enjoyed riding his motorcycle, woodworking, and loving his adopted barn cat, Missy. He also enjoyed helping Bonnie with Farmer's Market, farming with his brother-in-law, Steve and helping his brother, Norm with chores and odd jobs. But his greatest love was spending time with his grandkids and even changed diapers. He was a great one for rocking the kids and grandkids to sleep, but it was often a safe bet he would get a nap out of the deal too. ☺ If you ask the youngest grandchild she would say "He's da best g'pa in the world". Daryl's greatest trait was his love language. His love language was acts of service, and he showed his love through ceaseless acts of kindness and service to his wife Bonnie by caring for her, and to his children and family by helping in any way he could, whether it was helping someone move, working on their car, farming, chores, or remodeling. However, he frequently would state that he couldn't figure out why the board didn't fit because he "cut it twice and it's still too short." A funeral service will be held at 11:00A.M. Monday, December 15, 2014, at the United Methodist Church in spirit Lake. Visitation will be held Sunday, from 2:00P.M. until 4:00P.M. at the Schuchert-Lentz Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given in Daryl's name.
