Dewey and I met at Trinity High School in 1970 and became fast friends. In the ensuing years we were classmates ,roommates and travel companions. In the last 20 years or so I maybe saw him twice as our lives took different paths. He will always have a place in my memories and will miss him. Rest Well my friend .

Dewey was a great guy that I was lucky to call a friend in the 90s. Funny, smart and kind, with a rebellious/mischievous side, too. I ran into him around 2010 in Portland, and we had a chance to catch up, but I hadn't seen him since. Sad news. Rest in peace; you'll be missed.

Dewey was my college roommate for one year at Plymouth State College. We became very close friends. He was always kind and considerate and was so much fun to be around. I am shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. We both suffered tragedies in our lives, which bonded us together, and that is why Jimmy was such a special friend of mine. I'll always have fond memories of him and will carry those with me forever. Rest in peace, my special friend.
