Events	Denis A. Darling, age 90 of Stafford, New York, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, April 11, 2017, peacefully at home. He was born on March 7, 1927 in the Town of Newstead, New York, a son of the late Alton and Amy Franz Darling. Denis was a graduate of Parker High School. He entered into the United States Army in 1952 and fought in the Korean War from 1952 to 1954. He attained the rank of Sergeant and was awarded a Bronze Service Star. He worked as a general contractor building homes in the Clarence area. He then bought a farm in Stafford, New York, helping raise 5 children with his beautiful wife Phyllis. An accomplished wood craftsman, his favorite thing to do was to make wooden items that challenged him, such as fiddles, tables, lamps and decorative lathe vases. Growing things were his forte, whether it be the grain crops in the fields or the multitude of raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, cherries or sunflowers. Survivors include his wife of 55 years, Phyllis Bedford Darling; sons, Abe (Jennifer) Darling of Laurens, South Carolina, Alan (Chandler) Darling of Greenwood, South Carolina and Andrew Darling; daughters, Laura (Stephen ) Curry of Byron and MollyAnn Darling – Krajcer of West Seneca, New York; grandchildren, Austin, Blaine and Jami Reese Darling of Laurens, South Carolina, Benjamin Darling of Columbia, South Carolina, Daniel Darling of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Luke Darling of Greenwood, South Carolina, Megan Curry of Elba, New York, Kayla Curry of Byron, New York, Nigel and Jacob Krajcer of West Seneca, New York; one great-grandchild, Cayden Nash of Elba, New York; several nieces and nephews.
