Dear Diane, Christopher and Kimberly and Family, I am so heartbroken for your loss, so many wonderful memories came flooding back of our friendship and building our two homes together in Moncton, and how Dwight shared his knowledge with Bill and I. The fun suppers & music and playing cards in the garage of the "Patch" . Dwight will be forever remembered with a smile. You are in my thoughts and prayers....Holly Trewin

Diane and family… we extend our heartfelt sympathy to you on Dwight’s passing. We had the privilege of working together for over five years and his mentorship and positive influence were invaluable for myself and other colleagues. Dwight was a compassionate leader, a man of unquestionable integrity, and someone who put others above self. His positive attitude and sense of humour made working with him a real joy. Dwight left us far too soon - the family but also his many friends will miss him dearly.

Our deepest condolences and wishing you courage during this most difficult time. Daniel (Dan) & Claire
