I remember uncle Dwight from the many anniversary parties for Grandma and Grandpa Clark, many of our fondest childhood memories are from those family gatherings. Uncle Dwight was always my mothers(Connie Hobbs) favorite, he was the first person she would find at any family gathering. I know it pains her now to be so far away. We would like to offer our condolences on her behalf. With love and sympathy to all of the family. Jennifer, Nancy, April, and Sarah McGeath
