Very direct and brilliant really. Purchased many an item from him and his knowledge was amazing. Sad he is gone.

Here's an expanded version: "I'm deeply grateful for my friend Dwain, who left an indelible mark on my life over 40 years. His unwavering trust, support, kindness, and empathy drew me in, and his infectious smile and stories brightened every encounter. I'll never forget when he was there for me, not with financial help, but with a listening ear and wise words that boosted my confidence. After reconnecting, courtesy of Greg, we shared stories and laughter, and I marveled at his uncanny...

Let me know if I can hep with the shops in any way. I helped him with shop and sold him my shop across the street which we had plans to move me back info.

Dwain was a character. He invited me to come back to West Plaza and reopen my shop there a few weeks ago. He always wanted to do business and keep his going, and thought I could help build the neighborhood. So sad. I'm not sure if this will happen now or not. He was so excited about it. Someone let me know.

Dwain was a great friend... always there for you when you needed him. We recently reconnected after over 25 years being out of touch with one another. I´m so glad I had the time in the last year to spend with and enjoy this beautiful man´s company. I will always remember Dwain and the memories we shared with great fondness. God Bless Dwain and all who loved him at this time of loss. I will miss you, Dwain.
