So sorry for your loss. Dwight came to our home in Kentucky many times to visit and coon hunt. We enjoyed his company and his many tales. Rest assured he will be missed by the Wilson family.

Lori, Shannon and family so sorry to hear of Dwight's passing. He had the ability to make you laugh no matter what was going on. His sister Patty enjoyed fixing him lunches when he was in town working. Thanks for all the good memories Uncle D.
