Well said Patrick and well done. Dark was a character......which is a fine compliment, indeed.

I always enjoyed the acerbic wit of the Darkman while listening to him on my visits bacc home and I always enjoyed his bombast on The Sports Show. Rest In Peace...

Patrick, great tribute to Dark. He was one that always made me laugh in the press box...he will be missed!

Only met him once. He was all smiles on the plaza in front of the metrodome before a Gopher game. He was relaxed, happy and made feel good. World class name dropper and wit- we will miss him. RIP

I didn't necessarily like his 'delivery'...but he did provide insight.......RIP

it's like losing a distant Uncle. Loved his sense of humor and he never took himself too seriously. RIP Darkman

I loved it when the Darkman dissed Sid and Sid didn't get it. Dark had great wit and was a nimble conversationalist with wit and humor. I'll miss him.
