Dear Dianne and family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of Dwight. He was a true gentleman and respected by all who worked with or for him. I met Dwight for the first time when he visited the Liaison office in Vienna, Austria. Embassy staff, Austrian police and all who had the pleasure of meeting him commented on his professionalism and kind demeanor. He had the rare ability to make everyone’s day a bit brighter.
I wish you the comfort of good memories during this difficult time.

Dear Dianne, Christopher, Kimberley, and Family,
You have our deepest condolences as you grieve Dwight’s passing.
There are very few people who have had such an influence on our lives. He was a great mentor at work and a dearest friend and life coach beyond.
We will always remember and cherish the good times we spent at the cottage. Those were opportunities to get to know the entire family for which we are so blessed. Nothing can ever take away the memories. He will be sorely missed.
