Darwin was a member of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church, American Legion Ernie Johnson Post #406 in Stanton, and a past member of the Red Oak Masonic Lodge. Darwin loved playing cards: Bridge, Pitch and Pinochle. He always had a smile on his face and was ready to visit with you whether he knew you or not.
