Richard H. Dewing

Hi Dan, we lived across from your mom and dad for about 22 years. The two of them were the most incredible neighbors a person could have. Your dad helped us build a wall in front of the house he mowed our lawn and he plowed our snow. I don´t know what we would have done without him. He also shot a woodchuck that was eating everything in our garden. Your mom was the most prolific writer ever. They will both be sorely missed.We were truly blessed to have them as our neighbors.

To the Dewing Family:

On behalf of a grateful nation, and the Department of NH, VFW/Auxiliary District #7, we wish to acknowledge your loved one's service to our country, and send our deepest condolences on your loss.

District #7 Chaplain,
Cathy Burns

I had the pleasure of knowing Dick Dewing during my formative years at UNH. He relayed his breakfast story of eating ham + eggs in describing how to approach life. He relayed that you must decide if you will have a full breakfast or will you emulate the ham or emulate the eggs. “Because you know that the Chicken is involved, but the Pig is really committed.” Dick was involved and committed and contributed mightily.

Brother Dewing you were a constant presence and a great guide for us Acacians throughout my time there (1983-1987) and for all these years after; thank you for your service to your brothers and to your country, your community and your family. May you rest in eternal peace!

Seldom do you ever really meet a great man. I was blessed to know dick through the acacia fraternity in the 1980’s. He was always there for us serving on the board for many years.

We were always proud of his service to country and community. We built a float to honor his unh football legacy at homecoming.

Thanks for all you did Dick.

Dock Dewing was a great role model for the first group of us that reinstated Acacia at UNH in 1982, a man of high moral character and standards, who cared about our success.

He gave his all to his family, friends, high school, college and to the service of our country. He will be missed but not forgotten.

I will miss his sparkling eyes!!

Dick will be very missed here in our neighborhood as he was loved. We had the pleasure of living across the street from he and Mary for nearly 30 years. Dick lived to serve, one or hundreds. Always helpful and always willing to chat! We are honored to have been his friends. RIP
