He was an avid hunter, fisherman, and famous trapper of muskrats. He was an ironworker with Local 440 and loved the brotherhood he had with the men that he worked with. Darwin loved to sit and visit with family and friends and was well known for his quick wit, wild tales, and sense of humor. He lived in Ottawa for 30 years but loved to get visitors from "the rez" and hear all the stories about what was going on back at home.
