Mike,
I believe his collection went to a museum but Norm (tektitesource)
doesn't name it on his site.
see here: http://www.tektitesource.com/Futrell%20Collection.html for details.

Jim and Paul (http://www.meteorites-for-sale.com) have had some
Futrell pieces in the past but haven't checked lately.

Darryl was certainly a passionate and interesting man. I was never
able to meet him but corresponded with him a bit and he was kind
enough to send me a corrected copy of his Rock & Gem articles with
lots of hand-written notes and additional photos.

Regards,
Phil
