My Uncle Dwight aka "Tweety Bird" was a man that many will never forget. He had a sense of humor that was beyond measure. He always made us laugh and smile. You were the one that always knew how to have a good time no matter if others didn't. I will surely miss you! I love you and Aunt Diane! Houston always remember we love you! We may not always see each other, but you are still my cousin forever and always...love you and those babies!

To the family; sorry for your lost. The class of 1967 was a close group of young people, over the years we have tried to keep in contact with each other. We all have felt like family, so our hearts are broken with the lost of Earl Dwight. Keep the good times alive, with Gods help you can make it.
