Dwight:

I did not know you well, but the few times we did meet I was always struck by your love of horse racing. The new Calagry track, I'm sure, will be a testament to your efforts and your passion for the sport.

Dwight
You have filled my life with many memories. I will never forget the times you let me drive your car out at the farm. Also will will never forget the time you wanted me to give you more pills to help the pain. When I use to visit you up at the foothills hospital and you would want me to exercise your leg. One of my greatest things to say thanks for was the nights you let Carson and Me feed the fish at your old house. Or the time we were in phoenix and you lost the car keys. I am so glad you are in a better place now.
When I heard you had a son it filled my heart with joy.
Love
Daniel

I will never forget the day I met Dwight, just off tour from the big Blue bus at a Michaud stampede party. In our 20's & 30's we had great times and so many laughs that we will never forget. The 626 house parties, Golfing the Glencoe with the often competative Dwight that embedded his putter in a tree after a loosing putt, Great laughs, Great Memories. We are so sad, You will be missed!

Dwight will truly be missed! He was an inspiration to all. I will never forget the times we had. They were special & I am glad I had the opportunity to get to know Dwight. Memories that I had with Dwight & friends are something I will never forget. Even through hard times, Dwight was one that always brought a smile to our face. A lesson to be learned from Dwight is live every moment as if it was your last!
Life is precious, enjoy it!
Love & prayers to all his family, Love Meg
