It is with sadness that we say goodbye to a very good man. Loyal and protective of those he loved, and a good friend to others, there was never a doubt of Dwain's sense of ethics and right from wrong. (I KNEW he was alright when he let a stray cat live at he and Mary's house!) We say a temporary farewell to someone who will be missed by many, and wish comfort for Mary and all of the family. Love, Linnaea Mittelstadt & Family.
