Our sympathy to your families. So sorry to hear of Dwights passing. He gave optimistic confidence each time we dropped off the air tools at rentco for repair and always took time to chat a few minutes. Our prayers will be with you this week. Gary And Cheryl Hawkes

Dwight is a family friend, and I have known him for many years. I will always remember Dwight as a fun, easy guy to talk to. He always had time to chat, and always had a smile and a laugh to share. I remember playing Saturday night shinny hockey in Grovedale with him for years. You always wanted to be in the same dressing room as Dwight, as he was the life of the room - laughing and joking with everyone. My heart and prayers are with the family as they struggle to move forward. And yet there is still joy, knowing he is Home and they will see him again!
