I just learned of Jock Darling's death. It was through my involvement in the Bruton Parish Church boys choir, in the 1970s, that I learned to gain an appreciation of music. Jock Darling loved music, particularly for Christian sacred music, and his enthusiasm was contagious. I fondly remember those days under Jock's tutelage!

I'm so sad to hear of Jock's passing, and Mary's, but was so richly blessed to have known them when I was in college at W&M, a few decades ago (class of 1975). I will always remember Jock's warmth of spirit, and his generosity in bringing those of us with modest talents into the choir and other musical events. I owe my love of choral music to Jock, and I continue to sing today. I also remember Mary's hospitality, welcoming me to their home many times. My heartfelt condolences on their passing.

What gifts Jock Darling gave to the world. May he Rest In Peace with Mary Lee.

So sorry to head this. Jock played at our wedding and he was so great. A kind and very accomplished man. He will be missed by us. Our prayers and thoughts are with the Darling family!

Oh, my. Another loss in my life. He was my harpsichord teacher at W&M. I remember thinking how incredibly old he was then! Not that I would ever forget him anyway, but he died on my birthday. I can say that I never sit down at a keyboard without thinking of him.

What sad news, except knowing he’s rejoined Mary Lee. Many condolences to their family and friends
