Dusty and family,
My family and I owe a great deal to your Dad. We send our heartfelt condolences for your loss. He hired me at Texaco in 86' and was my supervisor until he retired. He remains a legend in the folklore of the Anacortes refinery. May God comfort you all in your loss,

Sadly I never met Dwaine, but if the measure of a man is how his kids turned out, then I would have to say he was a great man. He obviously passed on wisdom, humor, grace and love to life to those he loved. I may have never met him in person, but I meet him through Dusty and I'm sure his daughters too. God Bless you Dwaine, and your family for you have left the rest of us with your wonderful legacy; your kids and warm memories.
Our prayers go out to Dwaine's family.

Dwaine was smart, hard-working, and personable man. I had the pleasure of working with him at the Texaco refinery; he knew his business, ran a tight ship on the FCCU (and expected the same from his co-workers), and always had time to answer questions. He was a master practical jokester. All the best to the Brady family during this sad time.

I worked with Dwaine in the late 60's early 7o's when I was a young engineer at PSP. Dwaine is one of those rare guys who is unforettable because of how he treated everyone and shared information and experiences unselfishly. This is a nice photo since I never remember him without a smile. We've lost another great guy from that wonderful time. My condolences to his family.
