Uncle Dexter was a kind, generous and honor bound man. He was a great friend to my father and my dad looked up to his oldest brother so much. Dexter was a comfort to my dad during his many illnesses near the end of my dad´s life and he took great comfort in their long phone calls. Dexter raised a wonderful family and leaves a lasting legacy in his many children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He made his mark in a grand way in the 103 years he graced this earth. Now he´s leading in Heaven.
