IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Obituary
Darrell D. "Corky" Redinger was born March 8, 1935 in Agra, Kansas to Ed & Grace (Glen) Redinger. He passed away January 14, 2015 at the Phillips County Hospital in Phillipsburg, Kansas at the age of 79.
Corky attended school in Agra, Kansas and on July 27, 1952 he married Freda Cox. To this union four children were born: Donald Dean, Bobby Lee, Terence Lynn and Pamela Jo.
After their marriage Corky's work took his family to many different states before settling in Agra. He worked construction and the grocery store business before starting his water well business in 1970. Drilling wells and trenching was his true passion. He truly loved going on service calls and visiting with his customers. Corky's opinionated nature complimented by his sense of humor made him well-known in the community and in the rural townships and surrounding counties.
In his spare time he loved to garden and play golf. He also loved music and enjoyed playing the guitar and singing with bands in his younger years. His favorite times were spent with family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Corky was preceded in death by his parents; four brothers: Ted, Jack, Dwight and Larry "Boone"; and brother-in-law, Dale Stockham.
He is survived by his wife, Freda, of Phillipsburg; his sons: Donald (Sandy) of Kansas City, MO, Bobby (Debbie) of Blue Springs, MO, and Terry (Stacye) of Phillipsburg; his daughter, Pamela Imm (David) of Phillipsburg; 12 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren; his sister, Gayle Stockham of Farmington, NM; sisters-in-law, Darlene Redinger, Carolyn Peterson and Gertrude Redinger; as well as nieces, nephews, and a host of friends.
