On this anniversary of the passing of Dwight, my most prominent memories of Dwight were of how he spoke of his son and wife with a great big smile on his face. When I worked for Dwight we both had children and would share stories of what was happening in their lives. I am very grateful to have known and worked for Dwight.

I am just getting back from travel and am greeted with this news. Dwight and I were childhood friends and in later years, he did more to advance my career in affordable housing than anyone else. He was a well-respected leader, whose contributions to this city will endure forever.
