I still think about you almost every day of course today I thought about you even more. It has been 11 years now and I can't help to think about what might have been happening today were you still with us.

Dear Dewey (Uncle Dewey-i-e),
There isn’t a day that goes by that you aren’t missed by everyone who knew you.
I’ve been working on this for days and am having a hard time trying not to turn it into book-length. There are so many great memories, it’s hard to pick just a few. One of my favorites is your 40th birthday surprise party – remember that? How long was it before you trusted us enough to come back and visit us? Remember secretly learning to line-dance so you...

To a great person, who touched so many lives.I have to agree with Walter, taken way before you should have been. You and Helen were always wonderful friends to Jim and I. We had many outings and dinners together as neighbors and friends. I know you were Jim's uncle but it was more like one of his dear friends. You were always a hard worker and never told anyone no when they asked a favor. You are still missed and loved by many. You defintely left your mark mine and Jim's life. I never pass...

If I am supposed to write something to tell how much I miss you, well we don't have enough time for that and my keyboard would be ruined from all the tears.
If I were to write about how mad I am that everything you worked so hard was wasvsnatched away from you so early or how unfair I think it is that someone like you is taken before so many others that are less derserving, well that just wouldn't be productive and wouldn't be a very good example of what you taught me.

I still think about you often and it only seems like yesterday you were still here. It's was always a fun trip for me as a child to come out to "Uncle Dewey's Shop" where you were there in your all blue work uniform and always in a great mood even though it seemed as if you were always working. You gave me my first job I ever had and I'm pretty sure you payed me way too much money for what I was doing, but that was just your way. I remember riding around in your van with you and sitting in...
