Judy,
I was so sorry to read of Dwaynes passing. Brian and I were always meaning to come and see you guys, but you know how it is.. My prayers and deepest sympathies go to you and the family. He was one of a kind and I will always think of him with love and respect. When we worked together at The Heritage House and when you were in our wedding, it was always so much fun.. I miss it.. Please take care of yourself and know that I think of you often, and he will be missed by many..
Terry & Brian..
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Judy and family,
You have my deepest sympathy. Dwayne was one of the coolest people on God’s earth and I enjoyed D and J’s and all of your hospitality and great food. I did not know he ran the 312 club in McIntire. (I remember my folks stopping there now and then and hearing of it as my hometown was Riceville). My prayers are with all of you at this great time of grief.

Judy,
I am so sorry to hear about Dwayne. I remember all the fun times we had at D&J’s. He was always so nice and fun to be around. I am sure you will miss him dearly. Please know that you are in our thoughts.

Judy,
I’m so sorry that this is so late. I just read Dewey’s obituary in the paper (I’m always reading the paper late). Haven’t seen you guys much in the last several years, but I will never forget all the fun times we had both in Tripoli and Fairbank(on the way back from Iowa games). Dewey always had a smile for you and a “snifter” even if you really didn’t want one some times. Please accept our sympathies to you and all of Dewey’s family members. We will miss him.
