Darrell Kruljac was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in the fall of 1998. After 17 years of dealing with the disease he continues to battle the symptoms heroically on a daily basis. Darrell refuses to let the disease impact him as he stays active when he can with projects at his business and his home. He also has maintained his electrical license qualification in the state of Wyoming by staying current with the testing and renewal requirements.
Darrell is greatly loved and admired by his family. Our favorite side of him is still his quick whit and one liner humor. He is a hero to us and we don't let him know nearly enough how truly loved he is and how proud we are of his daily, no- hourly! battle with the disease. We still all hold the memory of his strength, intelligence and outright giving heart prior to the diagnosis and look forward to any and all advancements to bring the slightest bit of him back to us.
Dad - we love you more than you know - you are our hero!!!! Happy Fathers Day!!
