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.
