Darrell was an awesome southpaw pitcher in EH senior league with several no-hitters. He and his team went on to the New England finals in Maine. Darrell attended EHHS and graduated with his illustrious class of ‘73 and in 1979 went on to serve his country in the United States Air Force. He is survived by his brother‘s James Lloyd Bartlett and wife Bernice (Coughlin) of Middle Haddam, CT and Duane Edward Bartlett, CA. He also leaves a niece Katherine (Bartlett) Blaszczyk and husband Jozef, and a nephew James Ryan Bartlett and wife Audrey (Kazokas) and five great nieces and nephews.

     Although Darrell had been plagued by physical and emotional illness, he was always kind and respectful to all those he met. If he called you his friend, then he was a friend for life. A special thanks to all at Gladeview Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center for their care and compassion over these ten plus years where Darrell called home.
