Dwight was a good man & cousin. I remember how laid back he was. Whe I was a little boy, Dwight being about 7 yrs my senior,, he saved me the shock of my life. We were @ Aunt Margie's house and we were outside. I had to pee & I was about to pee on an electric fence. Thank goodness Dwight yelled @ me to stop. My condolences. R.I.P. CUZ.
