He was my eldest cousin, but I felt very close to him. Getting to know Dewitt again after all these years was so enriching for me. He was a very kind, very thoughtful and sincere soul, and he will be greatly missed.
A truly fine man, an amazing teacher, and thankfully for me, a mentor that had a profound impact on my life. I have always, and will continue to, hold him dear to my heart. My prayers and thoughts reach out to Mike, Carole, and all of DeWitt's beloved family. We were all blessed to have had him in our lives.
