"DC" or Darren Coffel, a long time baseball coach and umpire died this past week as the result of head on collision. Darren was a good man who did so much for baseball in Southern Illinois. RIP Darren.

Darren was a good friend who I have known for a long time now. Terrible tragedy. Feel horrible for his family and his son. Was on the way to pick him up from school when the accident happened. He will be missed. We lost a good baseball man.
I was sorry to hear about the accident that took Darren's life. My wife came up on it coming home from school Friday. We didn't know it was Darren until Saturday morning, and we were on our way to Nashville TN to see our son, who had played in the first SIFL that DC started, and he sent us a text that he had seen it in the paper. I saw an SIFL league game at JALC yesterday, and thought about the baseball he helped many high schoolers play in the fall.
