Born on a farm in Blackfoot Idaho, Darrell was the son of the late Ervin and Grace (Hoskins) Parsons.\u00a0 Darrell experienced the loss of his first wife shortly after they were married.

The two relocated to California and welcomed their son Jaime. To be closer to Linda\u2019s family, they eventually relocated to Groveland, MA.\u00a0 Linda took a job teaching and Darrell opened his own business, Town and Country TV, installing TV antennas and opening one of the first movie rental stores.
