Darwin Francis Black

Dar always remembered his Midwestern roots. Even after he moved to California in the 60s, for many years he drove back to Iowa to visit for a few months in the summer. He also visited England to see relatives and a castle owned by his ancestors.

He lived a full life to the end, sharing his time between his home in Laguna Beach and a place in Palm Springs. He was very sociable and had a large circle of friends who will always have fond memories and really miss him.

Like Johnny Carson, you can take the boy out of the Midwest, but you cannot take the Midwest out of the boy.
