Pawpaw was always full of patience and wisdom.   I enjoyed our talks, and the kids and I miss him emensely. 

Hi Sherry,

On behalf of our Executive Board, adult leaders, Scouts and staff, I extend condolences to you and the Woodruff family.  

I also extend our thanks to you for sharing Dewayne with the Bay Area Council Scouting family for many, many  years.  He gave much of himself for the betterment of local Scouting and helped move Scouting forward.

Our prayers are with you!

Scout Executive/CEO

Sherry, 
I remember all of the Cradle of Texas Cub Scout Day camps when Dewayne was the resident leather expert.  His patience and love for those young boys were epic.  No job was too large or too small for Dewayne, he was always there. He will be deeply missed in so many ways, his ever giving spirit, scouting and camp knowledge, and the stories he could tell!  
May God’s peace be with you at this sorrowful time.  
Jeane


Sherry,

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you can take comfort knowing he is in a better place now.


Sherry,
The laughs we shared keep me smiling today. I loved hanging out in the kitchen at Camp K with Dewayne. I remember the Hobart and throwing potatoes in it to make mashed potatoes. He would tells us funny stories and make the time pass quickly. Thank you for sharing him with all of us in Scouting.  He has gone home. 
With love and hugs,
Dona :-)

Sherry,
Words are hard to put together to express what Dewayne contributed to scouting, Camp K, and our community for years. 
He will be missed, more so I am certain by you. 

God bless you, and give you strength during this time.

Pam and Dave have already said it well... Camp K,  Mess Hall, Woodbadge... making on impact on the lives of many Scouts and Scouters. .. and doing so gently and strongly.. was anyone ever mad at Dewayne?     

Sherry, prayers for you  - for comfort and peace.

Dewayne was such a gentle giant of man.   He touched so many lives through Scouting and his willingness to share his knowledge and skill will assure that he lives on in the hearts of the adults and youth who had the chance to spend time with him.  I will always treasure the time spent working with him in the mess hall at Camp K.  Sherry, I am so sorry for your loss and hope you find comfort in your countless memories.

Sherry,

Sincere condolences from the Barker family.

Dewayne left a living legacy in the Scouting movement, particularly through his tireless work at Camp K!

Dewayne and I shared many a moment, staffing Wood Badge.

Yours in Scouting
