Uncle Dwight's birthday was three days after my dad's and on several occasions he would visit Venice, Florida to celebrate his birthday with my mom and dad at their winter home. My husband and I once happened to visit with our young children while Uncle Dwight was there. Our son, Max, was two years old and was just learning to swim. Max would wear water wings and a life vest and paddle across the length of the pool. Uncle Dwight tirelessly spent hours in the pool as Max's support team. Max absolutely loved the big, gentle man with the big smile and the hearty laugh that sounded so much like his grandmother. We feel blessed to have many wonderful memories such as this of this very remarkable man.
