Marci, I have a heavy heart with hearing the sad news of your beloved father passing; as I still feel the loss of my own father in 2010. Still brings tears, but also wonderful memories that make me smile! I pray our Lord blesses you & your family with laughter through your tears as together you remember the "Good Times"!

I worked beside Dwight in an area of molding on 2nd shift for many years, then he started dating my best friend Phyllis whom he married. And we have went out to eat and visit with him especially in last months of illness. You will be missed dearly, RIP Dwight, he even tried to turn me into watching NASCAR, sat and watch one evening, fond memories. My friend.
