    To the family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your loved one, Dwight, I remember as a child stopping by at the Criss house many times on my way home, as me and my brother Charlie and Frank Rowlett and Howard Slinkard would be walking home from town on 69 hwy. The thing I remember most about him, was his kindness! It's been over 65 years since I lived on Polecat Lane, just past the Criss home place, but the memories of all of us kids back then are so vivid in my mind. I pray that God will give you all a special memory of a time in your life with him that will bring a smile to your face and comfort to your heart during these very difficult times. An Old Childhood Friend Larry Cook
