Obituary
DARREL GODSIL ASCHBACHER
The Prineville Legend
Born: June 2, 1936 in Prineville Oregon.
To: Laurie and Jake Aschbacher.
Description: A feisty redhead with beautiful blue eyes that sparkled when he laughed.
Siblings: Older brother Ronald Jacob Aschbacher baby sister Donna Eleanore Christina
Aschbacher; and older sister and confidant Thelma Louise Slouber.
And the story begins…
He is very funny; it started when he was just a tyke and followed him through life until
the day he died – what a joy! We all participated. Laugher and high jinks from his fathers
Ochoco Creamery; the hay fields and cattle ranches of Prineville; and then on to the
University of Oregon football team; the1958 Rose Bowl; and the Philadelphia Eagles in
1959 where he roomed with John Madden. Oh, he’s not done yet…
High school in Prineville is where he met his young, soon to be bride, Beverly
Aschbacher. They, with their two young children David and Darlene lived this journey
together.
He went on to fly his beloved airplanes with Delta Airlines from 1961 until he retired
(mandatory) at 60. And he just keeps keeping on… Based in Dallas Texas, after a stint
in New Orleans, brought a whole new world to the Aschbacher’s. And the fun just
continued… And yes, the awards and accolades have kept him entertained and
delighted.
Darrel Godsil Aschbacher if full of love, crazy beyond reproach, full of fun and has
impacted all that have been so lucky to call him family and friend. Even those who only
know him in passing. He’s unique and adored by all (most) unless crossed – be careful
and you know what I mean. Grouchy yes, but always charming. The smile and bellicose
laughter ending in a yodel is what it means to love Darrel.
Darrel is survived by his children, David Aschbacher (Valerie Aschbacher), Darlene
Aschbacher (Barry Neuberger); and Caren Cooke (Jean- Bernard Guerree); his
grandchildren, Nathan Aschbacher (Kate Aschbacher), Eva Guerree, Tess Guerree,
George and Jane Guerree; and great grandchildren Enzo Aschbacher, Carmen
Aschbacher.
