"To the family of Darwin ( Dickie) Ebersole, I've I just read that a good friend , Dickie Ebersole has passed and gone away to be with his Lord and Savior. I've known Dickie for most of my life. We grew up together as his family were my neighbor before moving to Shenandoah. He always took me for rides on his motorcycle whenever asked. I believe he used to work on cars as well. My dad would always call him Dickie Dew drop. During the many years of knowing him I've never not known him to say anything bad about another person. He was a gentle soul with a big heart. We may have lost a friend, a loved one an uncle ,brother& father , and husband but in the end the good Lord has received another angel So anytime when you're looking at the stars just think of them as porch lights always on waiting for their loved ones to come home. MAy God bless and comfort you during this time of your loss. Dickie dew drop will be greatly. Sincerely , Donna , Jeffrey, & Matthew Magers"
