Post-football Activities
On May 9, 1992, having completed his remaining 24 credit hours through a correspondence course program, Darryl Stingley received his bachelor of physical education from Purdue University.
Stingley and Tatum never reconciled. Tatum contacted Stingley while writing his own autobiography, and HBO invited both men to appear on the 25th anniversary of the accident. Stingley refused after he learned of the title of Tatum's book: Final Confessions of NFL Assassin Jack Tatum. Stingley believed Tatum's efforts to contact him were nothing more than profit-motivated publicity stunts. However, in a 1992 article in Jet, Darryl said that he had forgiven Jack a long time ago. But he also said that Jack had had opportunities to contact him over the years and never really made an effort. As might be expected, the situation was complicated.
Stingley later served as executive director of player personnel for the Patriots. Stingley co-authored a 1983 memoir, Happy to Be Alive, with Mark Mulvoy. In 1993 he started a nonprofit organization to help troubled youth in west Chicago. Stingley raised three sons - Darryl Jr., John S., a Chicago detective and Derek Stingley, who played defensive back for the Albany Firebirds in the Arena Football League

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
