Erwin "Jeep" Dewey

Until I got out of OHS, the only form of address I ever used, other than Mr. Dewey, was Coach. As a track runner, I was blessed to have some great coaches, Coach Wilber, Coach Milner, and Coach Dewey. A trifecta of great coaches but even better men. Coach Dewey became "Jeep" when we played golf, but I almost had to force myself to change and often reverted to Coach. In that vein, thanks Coach Dewey for the best golf round of my life. You and I, head to head, no galleries, no hushed...

Jeep was such a great guy! I honestly believe that he enjoyed T-ing me up when I was a young coach at Phoenix. He taught me a lot and I calmed down in time. I really enjoyed his company and he will be missed.

Coach Dewey was a fine coach and a very nice man. Very sorry for your loss.

Kevin and family: So sorry to hear about your dad's passing. I remember him teaching gym class when I was at Riley School. I think he liked bombardment best as we scurried out if the way of the tossed balls. I don't think they allow that particular "sport" any more. Your dad certainly contributed A lot to the education of many children and certainly enjoyed teaching and living life. I am sure he will be greatly missed.

Dear Coach (cousin-in-law) Jeep,
I Remember You from OHS.
I never had you as a coach, yet I HIGHLY respect(ed) you, as part of the Athletic team at OHS, and from Oswego, NY.
Thank You for ALL of Your contributions YOU made during your Life-and-Living.
May You Rest in Sweet and Most Loving Peace.
