Dearest Judy, Oh my! My heart aches for you, Phil, Josh and all of Dewey's family and friends. I "met" him on Facebook recently when he posted an amazing birthday tribute to you, including a photo of us way back when. Clearly an amazing young man with a heart of gold who adored his mom. I send you love and an enormous hug my friend. Take good care.

September 15, 2017

We are incredibly sorry for your loss of Dewey. Hearing about and watching Josh's relationship with his brother was incredible, and will not be forgotten. Sending you all lots of love and peace during this very difficult time. Love, Skylar Griggs and Aaron Henderson

I've been struggling with what to say- it's hard to put into words what a profound loss this is and how much he meant to anyone who was blessed to know him. For those who did know him they knew how much love he had for his wife, family, and friends. As a friend, Dewey helped me through some of the hardest times in my life and when I lost someone close to me he reminded me to always focus on the happier times, the laughs, and the positive memories. The pain of his loss may feel insurmountable at times, but we can all try to focus on how much happiness and joy he brought into our lives and hopefully our hearts won't hurt as much as they do right now. Whenever a Boston sports team wins we know he'll be cheering! Thinking of you all.

Dewey was truly one of a kind. My brother, Lee and Dewey became close friends at GW and in many ways was a little brother to me as well. He always had a smile on his face and could make you feel like $1M with just one conversation. His effervescent personality was a rare gift and he will surely be missed by all. My heart goes out to your entire family. Lots of love.

Christine and Dan Kuenzel

We are so heartbroken. It was truly a privilege and an honor to have known and loved Dewey. We will always remember his warm kindness, his hugs and his smile. He had a knack of making everyone that he met feel so special especially our two daughters. They loved playing with him and talking about music. They told us the other day that Dewey used to play Full House with them and of course he played the part of Uncle Jesse. Dewey will be greatly missed by all of us. Much love to our niece Alex and all of Dewey's family and friends.
