Wow, Dewey, he was my favorite patient when I had my business in Circleville. He was so darn sweet...I am glad that he brought so much joy to people and I have never forgotten him and have thought of him often in the over 10 years that I have seen his sweet face and smile...love you Dewey!

Dewey was a celebrity to the many people driving past him taking his walk each day along Nicholas Drive waving and smiling like they were his closest friend. I would go out of my way to return a wave and a smile and some casual comments. He stopped to keep me company while i built my shed during the summer many years ago. I remember sitting on his porch for hours on end making casual conversation. He was the happiest of people with so many friends who never knew his name but recognized him by his friendly smile and wave. It makes me smile to remember him. Thanks Dewey for bring joy to so many people.
