Darrell Roger Pipgrass, 81, of Glasgow, passed on Friday April 10, 2020 at his residence in Glasgow. He was born, June 8, 1938 in Leona, WI to the late Earl and Elsie Pipgrass.

Darrell was always up for adventure. Driving race cars, dancing till dawn, playing pinochle and pranking family and friends. He loved a good laugh, a good hunt, and a good liverwurst sandwich! You are loved, Darrell, you are loved!

Darrell, a long time ago we worked together selling Amway products, and spent beer-loaded weekends at Duck Lake. Your kids and mine spent long summer days swimming, fishing, growing and selling veggies at “The Lake.” You helped Chase-Pitkin Builders with remodeling and store maintenance/renovation. I could always count on you! RIP
