Meet Darryl! He is a friendly, caring, and active individual in RCRC. Darryl has been in Supportive Living Services for many years; however, it wasn’t until he found Compass that he truly fell in love with the services being provided. If you are wearing any sort of Compass gear, Darryl will be the first to point it out. He will then point to a piece of Compass gear that he is wearing (he wears something with the Compass logo every single day) and with the biggest smile say “Compass!”
Social Butterfly
Darryl is very active in the community, going to any social event that is being hosted. Whether it’s Sundays in the Park (a local weekly free concert) or seeing him during the day walking in the community, he will always have a smile on his face. If there is a Compass event happening, you will most definitely see him be the first to rush to the dance floor. Darryl’s favorite event however is Camp Carrville. Every year Darryl diligently saves his money to attend, he has yet to miss a year since it’s inception.
Double Dreaming
This year, upon hearing news of Compass going to Disney, Darryl was elated! He had not been to Disney since he was a child. Darryl asked if this meant that he wouldn’t be able to attend Camp Carrville this year, and that he did not want to even go to Disney if he meant that he would miss out on camp. This led to Darryl setting a goal, he wanted to go to both Disney and Carrville! This set a plan in motion, Darryl would set aside money weekly with the intention of attending both camps. Darryl was very determined to meet this goal, and in only a few short months Darryl was able to save enough money to attend both events.
It’s a Wonderful LIfe
Darryl’s love for all things Compass truly demonstrates the care and passion he has for us, which is reciprocated in kind. Darryl lives a wonderful, fulfilling life, and he will be the first to tell you it is because of Compass he is able to do so. If you ever see Darryl out and about, or at an event, be sure to introduce yourself and show him any Compass swag you have on, it will truly make his day!
