I was saddened to hear of Dwight's passing. He was a very kind and giving gentleman. We've had many interactions over the years beginning at the Brethren Home and then at Codorus State Park. He also assisted me at one point when my car broke down and he just happened to be in the area. He didn't hesitate to assist. My sincere condolences to the family.
