Dwight was a devoted husband to Mary for an incredible 70 years. Their love story is a testament to partnership, commitment, and unwavering support. Together, they created a beautiful family, nurturing a home filled with laughter and warmth. He had a great smile and his sense of humor had a way of making life seem a little lighter, a little brighter, and a lot more fun. He was best known for his work at Fyock Painting but he also had a passion for farming and dreamt of one day owning his own farm. Family was everything to Dwight. He cherished every moment spent with his children and grandchildren, attending their sports games, school events, and activities. His perfect day would have been at a family reunion, playing horseshoes and drinking a cold beer. Though he didn’t get his wish to live to 141 years old, you could say he bought the farm! His life taught us all the importance of family, hard work, and love.

Friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday at Charles O. Dimond Funeral Home, Inc., South Fork. 

Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Monday at St. Michael Catholic Church, Father Jerzy Auguscik, OFM Conv., and Father Brian Warchola concelebrants. 

Committal, Forest Lawn Cemetery, Johnstown.
