They started their life together in Piermont, NH and then moved to Bradford in 2013, where they lived their fairytale life together until his passing on the day of their 24th wedding anniversary.
Dwight loved camping with his family. During camping trips and many fun afternoons and evenings you could find Dwight playing cards or dominoes with family and friends. He spent many days, nights, and weekends four wheeling, boating, snowmobiling and having a blast all while entertaining everyone! Dwight will always be remembered as the life of the party! Dwight was a huge car enthusiast, owning countless vehicles. Dwight would buy, sell or trade anything that had wheels.
