So sorry to hear of Dewey's passing. My father passed away one month ago. He was Dewey's roommate at Locust Grove. The last time I saw Dewey he was watching a football game. May he rest in peace. My prayers to the family that you may find comfort at this most difficult time. God Bless.

I have so many great memories with him and yes it's all pretty funny stuff I could listen to his stories for hours and by the end my face hurts so bad from the smiling and laughter to the point of tears. He sure did know how to bring a smile to people face. He always knew everyone I'm telling you he was well liked and loved by many. I want you to rest in peace Dewey we got your baby girl in good hands we love her more then words can say. She loved you Dewey beyond words and not a day will go by that she isn't thinking of you and you will always have a permanent place in her heart that's only filled by you. I thank you for everything you have done for me and always thinking of me and treating me like one of your own. I know you will watch over all of us and I'm great full for a guardian angel as loving as you. Rest in peace we love you.

I agree a lot of my memories of him was him making us laugh. I reminded Rosie the other day about the time her dad made that car run a red light because he kept inching his car forward like he was going to race them. I think I literally laughed so hard I cried never a dull moment with him around. Or if he thought Rosie said something even a tad mean Squirt why do you got to be so hateful? and she would be oh dad I wasn't being mean just venting. Oh the joys of teenagers lol He did treat you and I like his own and I appreciated that more than he knew.

Hello dad its your squirt. I am missing you more than you know i dont know what direction to turn. You were always there for me and loved me unconditionally I right now cant imagine my life without you its like my life stood still since the night i got the call. Wednesday is going to be so hard for me i hope you can put your arms around me and give me some comfort as we lay you to rest. The holidays are not going to be the same i dont even feel like celebrating with you gone. I know in my head you would tell me to stop crying and that you are ok. But my heart is selfish and wants you here with me wants you back. I need you . I love and miss you so very much right now your daughter (squirt)

Dewey it is so hard to believe you are gone but I find comfort and I hope Roseann finds comfort as well in the fact that you may not be here in body but you are here in spirit. You always knew how to make someone laugh and how to brighten their day with that infectious laugh of yours it was nearly impossible to hear you laugh and not join in laughing with you. I will definitely miss hearing you yelling for Rosie calling her Squirt even as an adult you didn't care that was her nickname lol. As embarrassed as she seemed by her nickname between you and I I think she secretly loved it. Please look out for your baby girl she is having a hard time without you as you for so long were her world but she is a tough cookie she will be ok but it will take time.You are definitely missed very much and will never be forgotten. Until we meet again rest in sweet peace.
