OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY
Uncle Dewey was one in a million. A gifted singer and musician! He will be missed by all!!!
He was a dear friend for many years . I sat with Virginia until she passed after having a aneurysm. I will miss him so much but I know he is having coffee with mom and dad, Neal and Penny Northcutt up on Mineral Springs Road. Hugs to you and Virginia!💕💕
I wish I could be there to wish my condolences to Dewys family but I’m stuck up in the mountain with a broken leg. Please know my heart is with you all. I loved Dew like a brother and he loved my mom and dad, Neal and Penny Northcutt
So sorry for your loss, my thoughts and Prayers are with you 🙏
I’m so saddened by the passing of my Uncle Dewey. I was lucky enough to have him come visit us every year in East Wenatchee when I was growing up. I will always remember him singing and playing guitar with my parents. RIP Uncle, hug my Momma for me❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. Dewey was always fun to talk to or listen to those stories always made me laugh.
