I feel like l grew up with my uncle Dewey. He was a great Uncle l loved very much. Always with a ready smile for you. When he was in the Navy he brought me a little Japanese jacket with all that fancy embroidery all over it. I cherished it many years. He was a good family man. He will be missed by me as his brothers and sisters are. He was my mom brother. May you rejoice in Heaven with all of them. I love you....... Linda

I have so many memories of Uncle Dewey, and I'm thankful for every one of them! He was a good man, a good brother to my daddy. He and Daddy were always close. We will all miss him but we know he is in a much better place. Love you always, Uncle Dewey.
