Dewey loved the Lord Jesus Christ, spending time with his family, dancing, good music and chocolate.

We take great joy in knowing Dad is in heaven with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and reunited with Rosalie and family that have gone before. He lived as an honest and upright man, a worthy citizen and a true and loyal friend to a large circle. He will be greatly missed.
