My brother Randy and I got to spend a week or so in Shipman with Donna and David. The boys worked on the blue "dirt bike" trying to get it running at the "old house". Rode bikes around town and stopping in a Uncle Wayne´s work from time to time. Didn´t stay too long with the grain elevator smell. Somehow the Eddington´s acquired a moped at the "new house" and us boys took advantage of that around the yard and side streets. David had a sweet, fun and servant oriented heart and demeanor. He was a blessing to our family and many others he interacted with and knew and will be missed.

David was always so kind. Never saw him without a smile on his face. I know Carolyn and Ralph always enjoyed his impromptu visits which Rick and I were blessed to have been there for a few of them. Glad he felt welcome to visit. I know he will be deeply missed. With sincere condolences, Sherry.
