I was so sorry to hear of Dwight's passing. He was a good man and I'm glad I had the chance to know him.

I worked with Dwight for many years and he always had a smile on his face or was teasing and joking with us. I always enjoyed seeing him at work or at the Letter Carrier's Retiree's Luncheon for the last several years. I would also get to see him out on my route when he was delivering sweet corn to grocery stores. He never had an unkind word to say about anyone and was always concerned about how you were doing. He would do anything for anyone if he could! He will be missed so much! Condolences to his family and friends!!! Sue Marcus Wilbois
