David Allen Shorter

Dear Cody and family,
We are so very sorry to hear of your loss. Our deepest sympathies reach out to each and every one of you.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of David. He trained me as a engineer and was a very kind man. I learned a lot from him. Every time I saw him in the yard office, his face would light up when someone asked him how his son Cody was doing. He was so proud of his son. We could talk for hours on end about Cody's games, and the trips he took with his family to the games. Englewood yard will not be the same without David. He will be truly missed on the RR. May God bless David's family.

Dear Cody and Family,
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. We are thinking about you and praying for you. Please call if you ever need our help. Cody, I'm sure your Dad was so very proud of you and your accomplishments. You look just like he did at your age!
Love, From Colby Smith(West Point Baseball) and Family

Cody,

Our family grieves with you at this time. My husband, Mike came to the visitation. We are John Buckley's parents. Know that we have been praying for you since Melanie McKague sent us the news. My specific prayer is that God would hold you in the palm of His hand, and give you the peace that passeth understanding.

Lela Buckley, Army Baseball Mom

Cody...
May you find comfort in your memories. Our prayers are with you and your entire family.

I went to high school with David and had sporadic contact with him over the years since. One thing I know from that contact, he was incredibly proud of his children and made that clear in every conversation I had with him. Stefani and Cody, he loved you so much.

Our prayers are with the family.

To Cody and his family, we met Dave on our trip to Texas during the NCAA Regionals last year. He mentioned how much he was proud of Cody and that he was having a lot of fun watching Army play baseball. Cody, we will be praying for you and your family in such a difficult time. Sincere sympathy. Paul & Bo Darnell (David Darnell's parents).

Dear Stefani and Cody,
I was so sorry to hear about your father and I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of the two of you and you are both in my prayers. I know your dad must have been so very proud of you both! I am sure the two of you are reflections of him, which says a lot about the kind of man he was. Take care and hang in there.
Sincerely,

For the Angels in the Outfield and Cobras Baseball Family, David was such a great role model for these fine young men of today. David will always have a special place in our hearts forever. With Love....

The first time we met Dave, he was meeting the Army Baseball team as they got off the bus for a tournament in San Antonio. He had about 40 gift bags full of snacks and treats for all the guys and a smile as big as Texas. On behalf of the Army Baseball Family, you will be sorely missed, Dave. We love you, Cody, and may God bless and keep you and your family.
Love,
Melanie & Bob, Kevin & Meredith

Dave, we sure are going to miss you and that ready smile you gave to everyone you met. The railroad won't be the same. We enjoyed working with you. Our prayers and sympathy for your loved ones during this very difficult time. We'll see you on the other side of the track, buddy.

I always enjoyed working with David. We had some great times together. My sympathies to his family. David, you will be miss by all.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to David's family. During our time together on the railroad, David was always the same. It was a pleasure to be around him. The worst aspect of retirement is leaving those you genuinely enjoyed working with. David was one of those. Rest in peace my friend.

Dear Steve,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. May you and your family find comfort and strength during this difficult time.

David showed great faith for our baseball team always watching from behind the fence. He was there for every step of the way always wanting to lend his hand. We will miss you Mr. Shorter.

David has always held a special place in my heart. He was my first date to ninth grade Homecoming. We could not drive so my parents took us to Dairy Queen after the game - it was great! My thoughts and prayers are with his family and I know he will be missed by all that knew him.

My prayers go out to all of the Shorter family.
