Mr. Dwight, an alumnus of The Citadel, was one of our favorites at The Citadel Alumni Association. Until recently, he frequently stopped by or called, and it was always a pleasure talking with him. We will miss him.

Dear Family,
Our prayers are with you all. It is always hard to lose someone that has been in the family the number of years Mr. Dwight was with you. Find strength in God and know He cares about what you are going through.

In God's Love,
Marshall Stanley

Henry had learned all the classic knacks of living well - a great attitude, wonderful sense of humor, willingness to laugh at himself, the desire to keep learning, and an outward focus on giving joy to others. His was a life well-lived and an instructive one.
