Dewey and Helen were my neighbors in Tennessee, in the RV park, where everyone loved and adored them!! I loved sharing beans, cornbread, and banana pudding with them. As Helen's health started to decline, I watched Dewey lovingly and patiently care for her. I will always cherish my memories of them...best neighbors, E.V.E.R.! I just today, learned of his passing and share your grief. Prayers and blessings to each of you.

I worked with Dewey when we set up a Master Franchise here in the UK. Dewey was a friendly guy with a great sense of humour and a treasure trove of wonderful stories. Our business has gone on to thrive and I will always have fond memories of how Dewey helped to get us launched. Thank you old friend and good luck in your new venture.

So sorry to hear about Dewey. When we arrived back in Florida we were sorry to hear you moved. It's just not the same to not see you in the window, I don't have anyone to wave to!! Both of you were always so friendly and kind. Tom & I both miss talking to you in the carports. Love, The Murphy's

Great salesman and even better person as evidenced by his love of family community service. Always enjoyed his visits while working at DeSear's. Dewey certainly leaves a legacy for all to emulate!

I met Dewey Eason back in the mid 80’s shortly after I moved to Florida. My sister in law at the time, worked for Signs Now and Dewey. The picture here is so perfect for the happiness he always showed. Smiling, laughing and such a bright light! Years later, I would see him at Ezra on those special nights, when he would cook, and serve, some of the best home cooking you’ve ever eaten. There aren’t many, if any, like Dewey Eason. He will be missed.
RIP

I Loved working with Dewey at DeSears. He was always making
Work FUN. I remember going to one of the sells dinners DeSears gave with Dewey standing in a washer to motivate the sells crew.
These dinners were always amazing because Dewey did things that at times blew your mind. I would describe Dewey as an Exciting Wonderful Person. I will miss knowing he is not still with Us.

Dewey was one of a kind. Always a warm smile and a welcoming greeting when I saw him. Was so helpful and had infinite wisdom with finances to family matters and many other matters. A trusting and kind soul with a huge heart always willing to help folks in need. He has helped out so many people over the course of his life. I always loved hearing all his stories from being a kid in Georgia to flying across country, boating in his fast boat to his time playing softball. If you had the chance to eat some of his meals then you know how great of a cook he was. It really was his passion. And finally his telling of jokes was top notch. I'm sure he's in heaven now telling jokes, living large and making deals. He will be missed.

Dewey, one of the best persons I have known. Lived life to the fullest and was as sharp as they come. I haven’t spoken to him in years but I know if I had seen him, it would be just like old times. He made a big impact on my life, I will miss you knowing your not here on this earth anymore. I love you, old friend. Thanks for all of the advice and for guiding Signs Now thru some difficult times.

Dewey was one of a kind, I don’t think he ever met a stranger. He always made you feel at home and made some mean collard greens. Dewey always had a story to tell .
