I met Dwain at Weathered Vineyards the day I met Bob, the man I married. He worked with Dwain at Rahn's. Dwain was polite, friendly, funny and just a fun guy to be around. He was very generous with the tomatoes he grew in his beautiful garden and always shared his homemade sauerkraut, salsa and tomato sauce.
My husband and I are going to miss him very much.
You were at good man, a very good man.

Dwain was an honest hard working man. He gave all he had every day and would always look out for his coworkers to make sure they had the information they needed... He was a generous, giving person always bringing in food and the fruits of his garden to share with all. He was like family to us and will surely be missed.. Rest in Peace Dwain
