So proud to have served under Gen Wheless in the Civil Air Patrol. I only met him once but could recognize immediately that he was an Officer, Gentleman and a true leader.
RIP Sir, you have a special place in heaven.

I was a client of Dwight's who only knew him by email and phone, yet I was impressed with his courtesy, humor and knowledge. I was also impressed by what people who had worked with him told me. Everyone I talked to spoke highly of him. I will miss him and I extend my condolences to his family; I know you will sorely miss this very special person.

Our sympathies to Dwight's family and loved ones. They are left with much to be proud of and remember. We hadn't been in touch often in recent years, but enjoyed fun times together in Manteo when we all were younger.
Also sending a special "hello" to Vickie -- one of Coach Pearce's favorite Manteo High baseball team managers.

A special man and friend, it saddens me deeply to learn of Dwight's passing. So much to so many is a true credit to his life and family. Respected as a leader, Dwight always exceeded the call. Dwight gave love and earned the love of many. He was a wonderful person and a gift to this world. God bless Dwight and all that knew and loved him.
