A retirement gathering was held on his last day at the Puunene Transportation facility. He was hired on Feb. 25, 1997, and has provided reliable service and care in getting his clients to their destinations. Darrell has been recognized numerous times over the years for Excellent Client Service and was a Cash for No Crash honoree in 2020 with no accidents or incidents for the previous six years.
Among those celebrating his retirement were driver Trixy Kapoi and Dispatcher Francine Santana, who were in the MEO CDL Class of 1997.
“We wish Darrell the best in his new life of retirement,” said MEO CEO Debbie Cabebe. “Drivers like Darrell are the backbone of our transportation operations, getting seniors, youths, persons with disabilities and others who need a ride to their appointments without fanfare.”
