What a great and humble man Dwight was. He was well loved by the St Louis MO Patriot Guard Riders and the Greater St Louis Area Honor Flight folks. We all will miss his physical presence greatly, but know he will be with us in spirit. May God comfort all of his huge family, but please be assured God has given Dwight a special place in heaven. I imagine Dwight will continue honoring all our veterans in the heavens and watch over those who remain on this earth. Such a wonderful human being; we certainly need more like Dwight. We thank you, his family, for sharing him with us all these years. God bless you.

I will never forget Dwight’s contagious smile. He would always answer the phone “Hello my friend “. He was always eager to help with anything. He amazed me all he could continue to do in his elderly years. I will pray that God gives you strength and peace in the upcoming days. They will not be easy. Take one day at a time one hour at a time. God bless you all.

Dwight was one of the honored guests on my bus for the 2019 VetsRoll trip. It was very interesting and informative to hear him speak of his military experiences. He was also a very delightful and upbeat person to be around. It was my honor to have known him for those 4 short days. Please accept my condolences on behalf of the entire VetsRoll.org family.
