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:
“...I have never known a “movement” in the theater that did not work direct and serious harm. Indeed, I have sometimes felt that the very people associated with various “uplifting” activities in the theater are people who are astoundingly lacking in idealism.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
