As a child, he was a frequent visitor to the cinema in Groveton, where he would pay a small fee to spend the day watching the news and motion pictures.  This led to a lifelong love of movies and television, especially history programs and anything in the Western genre.

On June 22, 1968, Darrell married Blanche Harris in the Groveton United Methodist Church. Darrell spent many years at paper mills in the North Country, working at the North Stratford mill until its closure. He collected coins and was a member of the American Legion Post #31.

Darrell is survived by his spouse of 50 years, Blanche (Harris) Lunn, as well as a son, James D. Lunn of Newton; and two daughters, Jodie Maccini and her husband Robert of Woodsville, and Amanda Lunn and her husband Greg Schaefer of McKinney, TX.  He is survived by his mother, Beatrice Tuttle of Stark, two brothers, Dennis Lunn of Stark; and Dale Lunn of Berlin; three sisters, Carolyn Carey and husband Don of Tucson, AZ; Judith Wentworth and husband Clark, and Linda Wentworth and husband Barry all of Stark.  Darrell is also survived by his 3 grandchildren, Katherine and Michael Maccini, and Aidan Schaefer.
