In Loving Memory of Donald J. Dewey Sr. 

My husband, the love of my life and my best friend for 60 years, passed peacefully surrounded by family. A devoted husband to his wife Rose, and father to Donald, Dawn (Garlock), and John, and a proud grandfather of Halley, Johnathan, Rebecca, Evan (Garlock), and Liam, he was the steady heart of our home. His quiet strength, gentle humor, and deep love shaped our lives in ways that words can never fully express. He gave us everything, and we will carry his love with us always.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
