He was the youngest of four children. The family settled in St. Regis, Montana until his father’s passing. In 1951 his mother packed up the family and moved to Missoula until 1956 then Helena to be closer to family. He attended Elementary School in St. Regis and Missoula, Broadwater County High School and Helena Senior High School. Daryl enlisted in the United States Navy in 1960. He was certified as a hospital corpsman and operating room technician and served in the Navy until his honorable discharge in 1966. During the Cuban Campaign in 1962, Daryl was one of 10 enlisted men and three doctors deployed as a mobile surgical unit from San Francisco to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. They were issued Marine uniforms and boarded a ship at Portsmouth, Virginia in route to Cuba. Their ship remained in the Atlantic Ocean until Russia agreed to remove their missiles from Cuba. During his service, Daryl also had the honor of attending to Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz following extensive surgery in his home on Yerba Buena Island in San Francisco Bay. Daryl heard Montana calling and moved back to Helena to work as a surgical technician at St. John’s Hospital and attend Carroll College. In 1970 he became a certified Inhalation Therapist, the first in Montana. Daryl held the position as Department Head for Respiratory Services at various hospitals in Helena and Seattle. He was an instructor and director for the Respiratory Therapy program at the Helena Vocational Technical Center, was self employed for several years as a general building contractor, and managed the Cardio-Respiratory Services department at St. Peter’s Hospital. In 1989, Daryl became a co-founder and owner of Apex Home Medical Systems. He successfully operated the company for 10 years until his retirement. Daryl married Julia Brighton in 1990 at their cabin in the Garnet Mountain Range, a union they shared for 23 years. Together, and with his son Russ, stepdaughter Marissa and stepson Adam, they enjoyed both the cabin and their country home designed and built by Daryl to enjoy the views of the Elkhorn Mountains, raise Pekin ducks and gourmet garlic. They traveled to Flagstaff, Arizona often to spend time with Russ at his home, and vacationed in Hawaii. Daryl enjoyed a lifetime passion in carpentry and built a number of houses in the Helena area. He had many interests including hunting and reloading equipment and specialty rifles for target shooting. He was a talented guitarist playing in a band and around the campfire at the cabin with friends, children and family singing along. Winter was his favorite time of year at the cabin cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, card-playing and story-telling with all those gathered around the glow of oil lamps and wood stove. He was an avid reader of wartime history, water navigation and sailing. He golfed, rafted the whitewater, and fished for the rainbow. Daryl is survived by his brother, Donald Dilly, Beaumont, California, step-daughter, Marissa (Trent) Vogl Barthelmas, Charleston, South Carolina, grandchildren Taj, Josie and Michael Barthelmas, Charleston, South Carolina, numerous nephews and nieces, his Brighton family and many loving family members and close friends. He was greeted in heaven by his parents, brother, Charles Dilly, sister, Mavis Arbour, son, Russell Dilly, and stepson, Adam Vogl. Daryl adopted several animals from the Lewis and Clark Humane Society which brought him great joy. Memorials may be made to the Lewis and Clark Humane Society. The family would like to thank the Montana VA, A Plus Health Care providers, Gail White, Tom Hamilton and Bill Vanderhoff for their wonderful care and friendship they provided to Daryl. A memorial to Daryl will be scheduled and announced in the early part of 2018 Obituary from Retz Funeral Home & Crematory, Helena, MT
