    Dear Cherry and family. I am so sorry to hear the news of Dwayne’s passing.Words can’t describe how you must feel or what you all must be going through. I first met Dwayne at work and together we developed a mutual trust that not only concluded in good business but developed into what I feel was a friendship.Years later he gave my son a chance to work along side of him and learn many parts of his trade,for which I will forever be thankful for. I look at this picture and I can hear his laughter which was always deep and sincere. I will miss you Wolf. My deepest condolences and prayers to you Cherry and family.Dwayne was a great man,we lost a good one.
    Scott and Denise and Family
