Deidra and Mrs. Keels, I would like to express my sincere sympathy on the passing such a wonderful man. It has been almost 40 years since I talked to Dewey myself. Not only do I have my own pleasant memories of Dewey but my father (Everett), who knew that Deidra and I were good friends, always remarked what a wonderful and gracious man he was.

Margaret and Deidra, Mom and want to express our deepest sympathy on the death of Dewey. He always had that winning smile and great personality.. I know that you both will miss him. You both are in our prayers...
