David grew up and was raised on a farm 17 miles north of Mankato where he enjoyed gathering eggs and caring for the farm animals. In 1991, Bill, Loretta, David and Susie moved to Mankato where David and Susie enjoyed taking long walks around town and going up to coffee to visit with the community. After the passing of Bill and Loretta, David moved to Beloit, Kansas. Through the help of OCCK, Inc. assistance, David obtained a job at Sunflower Manufacturing where he took great pride in assembling parts for others to use.
