Dear Family, we send our heart felt sympathy to you all in your sorrow. We are close friends with Bobbie Jean in Pennsylvania. I wanted to let you know that we send our love and prayers. I never met Dewey but I do know that he was a lovely man because his sister always talked fondly of her brother. Someday, according to God"s promises we will be together again.

I was a regular at the Dewey's Marathon. After the station closed I lost touch with him. I remember him to be quick with a joke and smile. I am so sorry for your loss.
